Play Day

I had an install down in Laughlin, Nevada this last week. Got to enjoy a little sunny 70 degree weather and watch all the sunbirds gamble away their children's inheritance. I felt like a kid there; the only non-grey people were the hotel and casino staff. Not like Vegas. I spent one night there. It was jumping, like always. Not too much evidence of a recession on the Strip. Lots of people and lots of traffic.
Saturday dawned clear and cold here in the valley so we jumped at the chance to go cross country skiing. There was some pretty deep snow up above Idaho City and not much of a trail. The sun shining on the snow made it really sticky in spots. After slugging through it for a couple hours we'd had enough so we eased back down to the car and grabbed some lunch. We had just enough time after we got back home to take a shower and a quick nap, and then it was time to go dancing. Mambo this time. Needless to say, by nine-thirty we were pretty much thrashed. Life in the fast lane. We feel compelled to get as much of this kind of stuff done before we get all stove up and give out.
