David’s back. Tell a friend.
Just a quick note that I’m back home from Vegas. It was a fun trip, but it’s good to be home. Now I have to do a ton of laundry, go through 2 weeks worth of mail, and see if my dogs remember who I am. And in case you’re interested, I pretty much broke even in the gambling department
I lost some money playing blackjack and roulette, but made it up playing craps! I never played craps before this trip. But it is a damn fun game! Especially when you’re winning. And when you’re the shooter and you have the hot hand, your adrenaline starts going! My buddy Mike got chips thrown his way by the other players because he was making us all a bunch of money. That was a good night. But the next night, well, let’s just say we figured out why they call it “craps”.
Another interesting thing I saw was a scene being filmed for CSI at the Venetian casino. I didn’t catch on at first as to why there was an area roped off, but then I saw all the cameras and the main actors from the show (William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger). I don’t want anyone to get too excited, but my left arm may be in a scene in one of the upcoming episodes. So feel free to ask for an autograph the next time you see me. I will be signing with my left arm, of course. 
I did catch Carrot Top’s show at the Luxor while I was there. That guy is a trip! Always does a good job with the props. And I was surprised how fast he was incorporating current events into his act, like the infamous Alec Baldwin voicemail to his 12 year old daughter. And if you didn’t know, Carrot Top is freakishly huge now. Huge as in a work out freak! Maybe he got tired of all the pushing around and being called “Carrot Cake” that he decided to do something about it. I wouldn’t want to mess with him.
Anyway, it’s good to be back. I go back to work tomorrow. Hopefully a Dallas Maverick’s loss tonight will be the final touch to a nice little vacation.
