leaving (for) las vegas

been awhile. sitting in the gate at dulles, about to depart for las vegas, for the company annual trade show. some of the novelty has worn off, but i can't complain about a week in vegas. it culminates with an over the top costume party. in years past, i've gone as part of a large group dressed as the cast from dodgeball (easily the best ensemble costume that i've done); last year was talledega nights. this year is a bit more random: two buddies and i are dressing up as authentic geishas.

speaking of which, mpg and ms. mpg are leaving for tokyo this morning. they're going to see the sox opening day game and sight see for two weeks.

will blog more from vegas. five hour flight in front of me.
