Where Does It Go?

I was looking back at some posts from January and found my Viva Las Vegas page. It seemed like miles away and just something to look forward to in April. Well, we leave for Sin City on Sunday. The time has screamed by like a F16 on crank. I can say that I am not as excited as I should be about going on vacation. The cruise we went on last year had me pumped up beyond imagination but there is something about going to a gambling Mecca that leaves an uninterested taste in my mouth.

I have never been attracted to gambling because it leaves too much opportunity to lose the pittance I have. I do not mind losing $20 because that is what I would spend on entertainment anyway. But when you get to $100 or $200 it approaches a grocery bill or a chunk of car payment. I worry too much about the little things I guess. I like to think that that is more important than hitting it big. What would I do with all of that money anyway? The government wants their chunk so they can flush it down some give away program to someone who thinks they are entitled. What is left after the government gets their just due would either be too much to handle or not enough to whet the whistle. Whine, whine, whine. I know. I guess I would rather be happy than rich.

So as we get packed and leave the schedule for Joy’s mom, I will try to get pumped up about going to Vegas. Nevada is one of the states that I have not seen yet. So I will be left with 14 more states to visit and plenty of time to see them. That is if it doesn’t go by as quickly.
