Vegas Baby! Part 1

I just returned from a short, short trip to Las Vegas. I was meeting up with some relatives from Europe.

It's been quite a few years since I've been to Vegas. Kim and I used to go every February for the Photo Marketers Association convention. We were even married there.

This time I stayed at the MGM. It was surprisingly pleasant. There were Christmas decorations everywhere. I'm always surprised at the decadence displayed in Vegas.

The view from my room;



The MGM lion in the lobby.




You can view real lions in their cage.





New York, New York is right across the street.





Waterfalls in a mall;




Gondoliers inside the Venetian Hotel;





Oversized decorations at the Bellagio Hotel;






Next post; more pics of how your gambling money is spent.

December Beginnings

Here are a couple of Christmas videos I did a while back. Wish I had some new ones for you but they're so darn time consuming.











Some Christmas themed cartoons from Funny Times. (You really should subscribe.)














And remember back in February when I had the superficial basal cell carcinoma on my nose? Turns out it wasn't so superficial. More like "stubborn" basal cell. Anyhow, I had to go in and have the Mohs procedure and have it cut out. So I'm dealing with this now:





Yeah, it sucks. That's eight stitches on my nose and it's sore as hell.
So keep slathering on the sunscreen!
