Spring Time In Sin City

I know this is late, but I've been traveling since 5:00 am CST, so back off. Today is the first day of Spring, so what better way to celebrate than heading to fabulous Las Vegas. I'm appearing at the Riviera this week. It's always fun being in Vegas, and even if it sounds cheesy, seeing your name in lights on the Vegas strip is cool. I will make this pledge to you. I will try to leave all Vegas cliches out of this week's posts. If you're looking for a lot of "What happens in Vegas..." claptrap, sorry baby that's not how I swing. I'm sure there will be lots to report on, so be patient.

I don't even want to get into the horrors of air travel. We all know it sucks. Yes, I had to wait in long lines, have my bags and laptop dusted for traces of explosive residue and sit in a chair while some drone wiped my shoe with what looked to be a Tucks medicated pad. The worst part was, the flight was sold out and my petite frame was jammed into a middle seat. The attendant at the desk was actually pretty nice. She tried to see if there was a chance of changing my seat, but everyone showed up. She handed me my pass and said, "bad news." "Bad news for the other people in the row" I wittily retorted. To paraphrase my good friend and comic Mike Schmidt, unsuspecting traveler had no idea what was about to plop down next to him. I wedged into the middle and quickly went to sleep, not allowing unsuspecting window seat guy to get up. I think he was sleeping too, but I didn't really care. I was buckled in, and that's where I was staying.

So I'm here in Vegas and ready for a great week. It is a little boring being in Vegas by yourself. I"m sure I'll find something to do, but remember, what happens....Never mind, I promised. Later...Brian
