Back home

My plane got in on time (8:15) but the remote parking thing was slow. Twenty minutes got me to the first remote lot but there was no bus to Lot F. 20 or 25 minutes later the bus shows up. Got home at 9:40 or so.  Remember: do not drive to O'Hare - take a taxi.

Nothing much to report from Las Vegas.  At the Thursday night "event" we gambled with play money.  We each got $1000 in chips and at 8:45 counted up to see who had the most.  I played blackjack and ended up with $6,750 so I was in second place.  Now why wasn't it real money? The MGM Grand is just so large it's hard to comprehend.  Over 5,000 rooms, 150,000 square foot casino, 3 Starbucks, a MacDonald's, more than a dozen restaurants, a lion habitat.  You have to see it to believe it.  And they are adding on to it.

Lori and Keir will drop of the kids and cats tomorrow so they can go on the final house walkthrough.  They move Monday but can't move their stuff in until after the 4:00 closing.  So we will have the girls until Tuesday morning.  I leave Tuesday afternoon for Atlanta, back Thursday night (and no, I'm not driving to the airport).

Love the cartoon! Started my day with a smile.

Moving into a new home is just so much fun!

Looks like Vegas was fun in spite of the commute in Chicago.
