It's all Tiger's fault...


Today and tomorrow I am in San Francisco attending the National SEC Financial Reporting Conference. It is about as exciting as it sounds. Today at lunch I sat next to a man who was completely fascinated by the fact that I was from Las Vegas. He asked about the downturn in the economy, and I told him yes, times were tough for the casinos on the Strip. He responded, "Well, and this Tiger Wood's situation can't help either."

"Why would the Tiger Wood's situation have anything to do with Las Vegas?"

"Well, now that he got caught, married men won't feel as comfortable coming to Las Vegas. That has to hurt the bottom line."

"It only takes one bad apple to ruin the whole bunch, doesn't it?"

I see a whole new marketing campaign here.

I'm back!

So, for some reason, at the beginning of October, I lost the desire to blog. Gasp! I know. But, then at Thanksgiving, I realized I missed blogging and wanted to return to the cyber world. But, then I felt pressure, because my first blog back needed to be really really funny. Too much pressure! So, here it is, my blog return, and it isn't that funny, so get over it.

As part of my "30 while 30" list, I have to learn to play the guitar. Ms. McGee, Cha Cha, and I have all signed up for a 5 week course at UNLV. After taking this class, we are forming a girl band. Cropstar will be our drummer.

Seeing as how I am actually signed up for a guitar class, and I currently don't have a guitar, you would think my #1 priority would be finding a guitar. But, it is not. My #1 priority is coming up with a name and t-shirt design for our girl band. No band can survive without a good name or t-shirt design. And, more importantly, if we come up with the t-shirt design soon, we can get them made so the three of us can wear them together to the first day of class so everyone else will know we are super cool.

So, I am open to suggestions. Ideas for our band?

Also, as a side note, UNLV offers all sorts of fun continuing education classes. Up next, cake decorating. Watch out world!
