I promise this will not be too much about baseball. In fact, I will talk baseball later.

I spent last week in Vegas, baby. The coincidental thing is that when I got home we watched an episode of the Soprano's with Jon Favreau. At various times during the week, I was wishing I had $50 to play blackjack and show everyone what a high-roller I am. Truth is, I just do not have the mindset to gamble.

The Interbike show was pretty cool and I spent most of my time with the boys from Reynolds. They are all good buddies and Turbo and J-dizzle even let me crash with them. Like Turbo, I was was amazed with how fake everything was. I have never seen so many fake b....well you know where I am going with that. I got a few rides in and was psyched to see the Krieger kill it in the Vegas Cross race and win some money playing craps. I was ready to see Turbo beat Ivan D and tell him who the F*^@ing man was, but it wasn't in the cards. It was also great to see Bubba, JKirk, Nater, Sleeveland and MPer, BPer, TommyBoy, and of course FNG. It was cool to see how excited and in awe FNG was at the show. I am trying to convince him to get his Masters at the U too.

Driving home we hit some snow and rain. I made the final leg from Pocatello to Bozeman in just over 3 hours. I think I hit ludicrous speed once or twice. Anyway, I realized how much I love my life, where I am and who I spend it with. I don't belong or have desire to be in a place like Vegas when I can spend time in the mountains. It was great to feel the cold, crisp air on my face again.

On a final note, if you complain loud enough look what people will do for you!
