Yesterday was my Birthday and we celebrated right around the block at The Whiskey Bar. It was a very different atmosphere than last year at Casa Bonita but we did have clown party hats :).

I had a great time with great friends drinking some great Whiskey. In a word it was “great”.

Alex and I had a great trip to Las Vegas to visit my family. We spent four days at Luxor. Normaly I wouldn’t be able to stand Vegas this long but we did so many other (non-gambling) things, like Golf and the Hoover Dam, that I didn’t want to leave when the time came.

Go check it out to learn about the history of The Slanket and how it was born.
