Back in Vegas, baby! I am lucky enough to have two jobs — in a row — in Las Vegas. And, it being July, it is hot as hot can be out there. I’ve been getting out most mornings, when it is a very nice 70° or so, but by the evening it’s well over… Read more »

Hauling my ass out of bed in the middle of the night to dodge traffic in a strange city whose design seemingly includes no concern for pedestrian traffic flow generally or my life specifically Dream come true. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to get up. Maybe it’s dark and cold and rainy… Read more »

One thing that is making me even more nuts than usual is when someone says something horrible and then puts “happy new year” on the end of it. Like “hey, wow, we didn’t tell you? You’re not doing that gig. Happy New Year!” or “Your hotel room won’t be ready for three hours. Happy New… Read more »
