Back from my travels. Started in Orlando for a conference. Great hotel, but everything was expensive. Blew a week’s per diem on the first day I reckon.

Then it was vacation time. Flew back to San Francisco, rented a car and did a whirlwind tour. Visted my brother in the bay area, then drove through the Sierra Nevada mountains and Death Valley on my way to Las Vegas.

Vegas was Vegas. The blackjack tables weren’t totally unkind, but given that I never know when to stop I left some money to help pay the light bills. I actually spent some time at the tables in New York, New York but had left the day before the shootings. So, I missed out on all the excitement, but I guess that was a good thing.

Drove back through the city of my birth, Los Angeles, and had a great Korean dinner in Korea town. Never had been there and it was pretty interesting to find myself in a Seoul-like environment smack dab in the City of Angels.

Then it was up the beautiful California coastline to San Fran, on the airplane and home safe and sound last night. Feels like I was gone forever and it was nice to sleep in my own bed again last night.

Sorry that I was not able to see more friends and family this trip, but I was taking some time for me. Hopefully I will carry forward a better frame of mind and outlook on this so called life of mine.

I do appreciate all the good thoughts and wishes y’all sent my way.

So, its back to darts…
