e-Chick, that's not a good trip, but for a real big-time "Las Vegas Sucked" story, you're gonna have to hear mine from two years ago ... I won't tell it all here (too long), but sometime when you're in the mood, send me your e-mail addy and I'll tell you the whole sad story ... bottom line, is that prior to our trip, she'd had about 8 months of medical care and therapy for a rare and painful condition she'd gotten following what should have been routine carpal tunnel surgury. We went to LV to (A) celebrate our anniversary (which it will be again next week ... close to yours) and (B) for her to get a break from medical treatment ... on the 2nd morning, which was the day of our anniversary, she was struck by a speeding car while crossing the street and spent the following 3 weeks in intensive care, the first of those on life-support ... she's ok now (must be, she's growlier than ever!!), but if you mention Las Vegas to her, she'll agree wholeheartedly with you ... Las Vegas sucked!
