I am getting on the plane in about twelve hours, heading to Washington DC and then Las Vegas. This is my first vacation in 15 months, and I intend to make the most of it.

If anything bad happens in Saudi Arabia between now and 11 July; not to worry, I am fine. If on the other hand, anything really bad happens to Air France in the next day and a half, concern is warranted.

I will check in from time to time, but will be generally off-line. Talk amongst yourselves until I get back.

I hope you win big! If you intend to gamble that is.

Paul: If you get a chance, come on up to our place - about 1 1/2 hours north of Vegas.

If not, let me know where you’re going to be and when, and I’ll try to hop on down. I’d enjoy meeting you.

Ha, that’s the first thing I thought of too!

Seriously, Paul, I hope you have a wonderful trip. And a safe trip back as well. 🙂

Seconding a hope to see you in Vegas!
