Las Vegas was a blast!  More fun than I remembered, the nickel slot machines were replaced with penny slots, so my money went a lot further this time around.  I spent $5.00 at the slot machines and won back $5.50 so I  was happy.  Every time I sat down at a slot machine I was offered a free drink and tried a Mai Tai, Whiskey Sour and Scotch & Soda, but didn't care for the Scotch.  Woke up the next morning with a headache.  We saw a Burlesque show on the last night, that was fun, although I don't think my Step-Mother understood what it was, I think she was thinking musical.  She was a little surprised when the young ladies started taking their tops off.  I didn't buy an expensive frozen drink in a souvenir cup this time, I didn't need to.  The casino right next to us was advertising frozen Margaritas for $1.00 each, very nice.  I didn't even spend all of the cash I took with me.  My brother lost money, as usual.  Looking forward to passing out the little poker chips I brought back for my friends.

Getting ready for my trip to Las Vegas next week, should be fun.  I'm fretting a bit at what to pack, everything has to fit into one suitcase, for obvious reasons.  I don't even know which casino we're staying in, some have gyms, some have Jacuzzis.  Should I pack a hairdryer?  How about my running shoes?  The first thing I'm going to do is hit the Stratosphere and get a Strawberry Daq in one of those tall cups like last time, very nice and very potent.  Then I'll watch the light show in front of the waterspouts.  By the way, there is another "Michelle" that posts under my blog in the comments section, not sure who she is, but unless you see my blog picture next to the comment, it's not me.  (Quite all right, I accept all followers)

November 7

Woo-hoo!  I can't believe what a great night it was for equality!  Maine & Maryland voted in favor of gay marriage and Tammy Baldwin became the first openly gay Senator.  Marijuana legislation was boosted in a couple of states as well.  This is good news.  I was hoping for 300 electoral votes and it looks like we're going to exceed it.  Won the popular vote too.  I can't get this smile off my face.

November 5

I finally finished The God Delusion!   Now I'm working on a Christopher Moore novel, but eventually I plan to read The Religious Condition, perhaps on the plane to Las Vegas.  I am so glad November 6 is almost here, I'm sick of hearing about the election but PLEASE let Obama be re-elected.  I don't want to know what that rich asshole will do if him and his stripper wife oust Barrack & Michelle from the White House.  If you haven't voted already, please hit the polls today and pull the straight Democrat Party lever!
