Week 9 - Back from Vegas!

Vegas trip to celebrate another graduation was wonderful.  Number One son looks good - solid, happily married, glad to be a grad.  Stayed at the Wynn - so luxurious.  While sitting at the bar the first night, bartender offered up 2 free tickets to Cirque de Soliel's "Le Reve".  We said SURE!  They poured our drinks into plastic glasses (whiskey and coke for him, cosmo for me :) and we went in!  4 rows from the stage.  Awesome show - wildly colorful, incredible acrobatics, terrifying dives into the water from over 100 feet in the air, sexy dancing (also in the water!) - just awesome.
Intermission at "Le Reve" ( The Dream).

Played the slots at the Wynn - won some then gave it back at the bar.  Fun.  I can see how it would be SO easy to get carried away and keep pumping in the $$ waiting for that big payoff that is just at the next roll.... OMG!  I maintained though....

The graduation event was really something.  Impressive.  Proud.  So many handsome young people and their families gathered to celebrate a huge success.  118 started the program, 90 graduated.  JTM is now the "weapons officer" ("weapon" in the AF stands for aircraft and "HH-60" is the helicopter that he flys) for his squadron.  A big deal for his career in the AF.  He's beaming and he's glad it's over.  Seems it was extremely stressful.  Never was one to make a big deal out of any accomplishment.  But that's what ceremonies are all about and we learned that this is INDEED a very big deal in the AF so YEH JTM!  Well done dear son.




 "DIL" was able to make it which made him so happy.  They are very much in love - still newlyweds.  Look very beautiful together.  Makes me happy that he is so happy.  Right now, it's just them against the world!

Pulse - here's to you my number one son
