#39 done. The only time I really won this weekend was when I tripled my bets on a hot roll.  But then I went back to my nickel and dime ways my stack started dwindling. Nevertheless, when my lungs recover from the cigarette smoke I’ll be back.

Constant USA chants in Vegas. If it weren’t for my bet on USA to win, I’d be jumping up and down for the draw.

Abandoned the strip for the low rent downtown district.

Pre craps meal at Sushi Roku in Vegas.

#15 in progress. Read Kitchen Confidential and loved it. The down and dirty guide to the culinary biz.

#55 Done. Saw a great bar band at The Stage on Broadway in Music City, USA.

Southern Comfort.  #61 done. Our clients treated us like we were the clients. Expected nothing less from the South.

Honky Tonk Row, Nashville.

Touched down in Nashville, Tennessee.

May Recap.  In the immortal words of Beyonce, I liked it so I put a ring on it.   

So, let’s start with what’s done…

#7. Spent Mom’s Day with my actual mom. Hadn’t done that in ages.  

#13. Drank with the ghosts of Mark Twain, Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson at the Cheshire Cheese Pub in London.  It resulted in my all time favorite picture of me.

#58. Made the backyard our favorite room in the house.

#60. Bet you didn’t think England when you saw this one.

#71. The British History Museum is truly a museum filled with the world’s history.

#74. Patience is a virtue.

What I put a dent in…

#1. We’re slowly but surely figuring out the manufacturing game. But running a company by the book is bad business. 

#6. I’ve hit a wall. But, not gaining is still a win.

#18. Little by little.  

#51. One down, three to go.

Onward…
