This is how they raise kids in Las Vegas.

Fred went to SEMA show today and walked about a gazillion miles.  He is feeling very good.  He ate three Nathan's hot dogs in addition to other food.  I can't believe THAT could be good for him.  He's eating like a pig, which is what the doctor wanted.  Last night we went to a buffet at Planet Hollywood and he ate way more than he ever did before he got sick.  Maybe he could become one of those competitive eaters.  Lonnie said that Nathan's on Coney Island has a hot dog eating contest.  Gross.


Greg, Michele and their kids came over to the hotel this morning and we all went swimming.  Well, Greg sat on the side while I talked his ear off.  Don't you guys get tired of that? GAWD.  It was very fun and we saw lots of extremely tanned people.  As in tanned hides.  Then the kids and I ran upstairs to my room while I changed.  They liked watching the planes land at the airport.  Then some guys started climbing down the side of the hotel with scaffolding to fix something.  I'm glad they had some entertainment while I got dressed.


We went back to Michele's house and had pizza with the kids.  We drove right up to a Little Caesar's and Greg walked in and bought an already made pizza for five dollars.  I can't get over that.  I had no idea!  I'm never buying pizza anywhere except there again.  I ate a piece at their house and it was good.  Cheap food rules. 


Then we took the kids to school, met their teacher and sped away to P. F. Changs.  The have a whole gluten-free menu avalable, which is so cool for Michele.  I prefer gluten-full sauce smothered on my endangered species sea bass.  Mmmmm. Then we had gluten-free Mai Tais and deserts.  I don't remember kindergarten days being this fun in my neighborhood. 

We went back to the house, drank some coffee and went back to get the kids from school.  I saved our fortune cookies for them and one was about a future in singing, one in sports, one fortune was about collections and....hmm.  Dang that MS.  I forget Austin's. It was fun.

Greg is marinating a GIGANTIC tub of meat for shishkabobs for the barbecue they're making for us tomorrow night.  That will be excellent.

I caught up with Fred, Casey and Lonnie at New York, New York where we had drinks and food with their friend, Brian.  Oh, wait, I didn't eat.  I just had drinks.  Did you know there are frozen tequila machines here?  It's like we're in the future.  I don't even like tequila that much.  But, you know, I'm a trooper. 

Well, I'm off to bed.  Tomorrow is more swimming and playing.  Tomorrow is also Stephanie's 22nd birthday.  She's driving out here tomorrow after class.

No. I never get tired of you talking my ear off. I loved hearing your version of my day.
