All My Worldly Wanderings

I have been to nightclub 1/2 block off the strip within the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino complex quite a few times now and each and every time it is a major bust. Bartenders, waiters and staff in general who are somewhat akin to dealers at the craps table inside the casino. For those of you who don’t know what I mean by that — listen up: people who work in casinos are usually the dullest, most sedate, truly lifeless people on Earth. Because they’re there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, day-in-and-day-out they’re there just waiting for […]

I was subscribing for a chemistry.com profile the other day and there was a question that gave me pause. Here’s the situation: You recently met someone special. You’ve been out together a few times and had planned to meet for dinner tonight. A couple of hours before you were scheduled to meet, you got the following message from him on your voice mail. This is what the voice mail says: “Hey, it’s me. I have to work late tonight, so I can’t make it. Call me.” After listening to the message, answer the following two questions: C’mon now, do you […]

Stock Market Quote for the Dow Jones Industrial Average$INDU – MSN Money. First full-day of trding for 2009 provides a sizeable gain, but will it continue? The volume wasn’t stellar at 213 million shares traded, but it wasn’t that bad either.

Only 51 more to go and we will be back in the same boat again… 😉

Merry Christmas and have a healthy, wealthy, andvery prosperous new year! As for me, I’ve been in the house for a Couple months and I am so elated to be a home owner. Oh, and I haven I stopped traveling by the way – as a matter of fact, just this very past weekend I became for the second time in my life a United Airlines Mileage Plus 1K – what does this mean? I have flown 100 flight segments in One calendar year. Just imagine how much of my life has been spent on an airplane – but I […]

I remember something a friend mine used to say to me and others several years ago – ”God takes care of babies and fools”. I think of all the times I was one or the other of those: in foreign countries I went to places places I shouldn’t have, corne back to the hotel in the wee small hours of the morning, and event went to places the even locals did not. When I lived in New York and in Chicago and would get drunk, take the subway home and never experienced a life threatening event. So that was when […]

You know the old song. Well that’s my life and I love it. The problem with this economy is that for me getting on the road is getting harder because companies are pulling their purse strings tight so there isn’t much reason to visit them if they’re not going to give me any of those precious duckettes. Oh, well! At least I’m alive, healthy and doing pretty good. (KNOCK WOOD!!!) Go, OBAMA!

I just set up the posting by e-mail function on my blog server and wanted to see what it would look like when posted.

I have not posted a travel entry in a while even though I’ve been a few places. So in my efforts to take back a more orderly and scheduled life, which includes getting back on a workout Schedule, here I go. Such as life back An a pair if planes today with a little layover in one q the mid-west’s more beautiful cities and one on the list of places where I formerly lived-Denver. And about my workout regimen. I used to hit the gym everyday or mostly everyday. But in the last year or so, I have let going […]

I was given a meal comp by one of Las Vegas’ casinos recently. (Santa Fe Station) Stupidly, I decided to use it for the meal. The thing the casino knows is that most people who have registered for their loyalty/player cards can’t come into a casino without gambling. Case in point is why so many casinos have put cinemas in them so you have to walk past the one-arm bandits on your way to your movie or favorite eatery and then again on the way back to the car. So most people stop and gamble if just for a bit. […]
