40

Today is my 40th birthday, and a friend and I have flown to Vegas for the weekend.  The timing couldn't be much worse for this, but the trip has been in the works for a few months.  Cotton has had mostly good days since Sunday night's scare, and so I took a chance and left him at home with my parents for a few days.  He's in good hands.

So, we're in Vegas.  We're winging it, mostly.  We plan to see a few shows, do some shopping and check out things that can only be seen in Vegas.  There's no internet at our hotel, so I'll report in when we get back and let you know how it goes.
