It's snowing like crazy outside. This is the first time I've actually had to shovel the sidewalk all winter. It's sort of nice.
The Packers were able to pull out their first post season game this afternoon which is great...mostly because that means a majority of the guys I deal with on a daily basis will be civil and not big crabs for the rest of the week. Oh, I admit it, I do get into the post season a little...it's fun to win anyway. Plus there's always beers to be had. And the beer sure flowed today. I think it's going to be an early evening.

The first thing is what are you looking for?
The Palms is the hip place to go for all us youngsters. Cool clubs and restaurants. They have a glass dance floor fifty some stories above the ground. Bellagio and MGM have some of the best restaurants. Ceasars forum is cool for people watching, fashion show mall for shopping. Venetian has tons of restaurants and is a cool place to walk around or take a gondola ride. It's also where madam toussad's wax museum is. Downtown is fun in a kitchy sort of way. Lot's of free stuff there. The best shows are Blue Man and the Cirque shows, O, Mystere and the new one zumanity. Of course you have to eat at least once at the world famous Battista's hole in the Wall, the oldest single owner restaurant in town (That's where I'm chef). You can check out vegas.com for more info and ask me anything. Just about every big hotel has a cool nightclub. Certain ones are better depending on the day of the week.
One was when the when the Seattle quarterback (I'm not gonna try to spell his name) had such childish glee about over overtime. I'm a Lions fan, so I end up cheering for the other teams in the NFC Norris division, but I kinda wanted Seattle to win just because that guy was so out of control with joy. It's gotta suck to be him and have that moment replayed over and over, followed by the clip of the game-losing fuckup.
When the Green Bay defensive back picked off the pass to win the game -- he knew instantly that he was going to score. That adrenalin rush he had, throwing his arm in the air as he ran down the sideline, is contagious. It's fun to watch. I wish I had that guy's hair.
I'll have to admit, I wanted to puke when the Fox announcer said there are angels watching over the Packers. Isn't it bizarre how people want to pull religion into sporting events. Sorry, the angels don't have time to be concerned with sick and starving, they are making sure Brett Farve wins another football game.
And people wonder why I don't believe in angels!
