Back and Better than Ever…is something I could say, but truthfully I’m tired after 5 nights in Vegas. My 5:45am wakeup call today was about the same time we were going to bed the last few nights in Las Vegas. It is a great trip during the opening weekend of March Madness though. Games start at 9:00am local, and end about 9:30pm. Then you can gamble, go to shows, eat, and whatever until you can’t move another step. I’m glad to be back and maybe you’ll see a new character on the show Thursday…one I may have found in Vegas. – Jim Dunaway
