BACK FROM VEGAS...

(JNote the Ski Amigo garb on Tim?) Yes - we have made it back alive from Vegas. Gotta go back...saw MANY things that one would probably ONLY see in Vegas....(like something "sexual" in a car - right on The Strip!) That was just Jill and I - Kev and Tim were off to a Beatles Convention....they got to talk to and an autograph from - Pete Best (I know I shouldn't have to explain to you who he is - but I seem to have come to realize that MOST people I work with are THICK! They have NO IDEA who Pete Best is! He is the "original" Beatle drummer - before Ringo - yes - there was a "before" Ringo!), after waiting 45 minutes in a line up. Jill and I after drinking copious amounts of alcohol - and needing food - stopped at a Japanese restaurant and guess who was at the table next to us? Pete Best! We took pictures of their group at the table, it was a couple of guys who had won a contest on the radio, and Pete and his brother Rogue were having lunch with them...one thing led to another and Jill and I had our pic taken with Pete...yes - we are on a first name basis....you see - when Rogue (one more person I am on a first name basis with!) was taking our picture - I had no where to place my hand - so I stuck it on his ass! YES! I GRABBED PETE BEST'S ASS! He had a nice bum for an old guy!

Then - off to some weird Karoke Bar - where there was a bad Elvis heading up this singing show. We stood outside and there was an absolute gorgeous black guy singing some real "smooth" song....I was mesmerized...Jill and I wanted to take him back to the hotel with us and have him sing us to sleep...(minds out of the gutter - just a song to drift off with)...I was whistling and just before he finshed I shouted out - "MARRY ME!"...ya - Diz was having FUN! If Tim would have been there - I would have been stifled - he doesn't like it when I have MY form of fun! THEN we went into the bar and when some old guy was singing a twisting song - I got up on stage and danced with the bad Elvis! That was a party in itself! (Another thing that probably would not have happened if "Big Brother" was watching....(I mean Tim!). Nearing the end of that day - I went into a Men's washroom - and wondered why there weren't more stalls - (didn't realize 'til I came out!!) and while in there doing what I needed to do - found that I had been wearing my shorts backwards the whole day! Obvious - Jill never really looked at MY BUM! But even if she had noticed - she probably would not have told me! I had my picture taken with Pete Best by his GORGEOUS brother Rogue - with my shorts on backwards! Booze does great things to one's brain....(I was the only one out of the 4 that actually made a "drinking trip" out of this...the other three - OLD WOOSES!!!!!)

The temperature on the strip one day was 52 degrees Celcius- that is 125 degrees F! Money had melted INTO the sidewalk! Seriously! It was like being in a blast furnace - thank God for air conditioning!

Oh ya - we also took a trip over the Grand Canyon in an airplane...one day - I'll post some pics! Back to "same old-same old" routine - and the house was still in one piece when we returned! still dealing with holiday hangover...Diz
