generally, i am a pretty optimistic, happy-go-lucky kind of person, but i have to admit there is something about las vegas that often brings out the worst in me. in the city of sin, i become a difficult and bitter grouch. is it the non-stop ringing of slot machines, the secondhand smoke, the lack of sunlight? while vegas is a popular vacation destination and especially inviting on new year's eve, my constant cantankerousness, caused by god knows what, pushed dabney to the edge. she had take me aside, slap a cocktail in my hand, and tell me to shut up before i snapped out of it all and began to sit back and enjoy myself.
after a little gambling, a winning streak*, a musical, and fireworks, all seemed right in the world. thanks to crazy bride and the thought she put into our new year's eve, i managed to have a pretty good time afterall.
*we nearly left las vegas $200 richer, but decided to blow most of it on a meal at thomas keller's
bouchon the evening of our departure. mind you, it was worth every dime.

You just have to embrace the ringing of slot machines, the lack of sunlight, and the second hand smoke and enjoy yourself! All the positive energy will bring you good luck! I love Vegas!
