las vegas.
In Vegas staying at the Wynn. This trip prompted a couple of random thoughts: Flew Virgin America. It’s actually a pretty great airline. Their employees are shockingly friendly. The flight attendants actually sound excited to be flying on a VA plane, and it rubs off. The colors make me feel like I’m in a club, […]

I’ve been gone for a while. Life on the West Coast has been keeping me busy.
