I had wanted to take a bunch of pictures of Vegas and post them here every night but that just isn’t working out as planned. The conference sessions go on all day and then there is an activity at night. I don’t carry my camera around with me so I just hit a [...]

It’s rare I remember my dreams. I guess I dream when I sleep but I hardly ever remember them. I remembered one from last night that was just plain weird. A T-Rex, you know, the huge dinosaur, crashed through the front of our house, snatched me out of bed with those two [...]
