OK, so there’s a lot of work to do on the house before the kids arrive, plus even more freelance and Stalelife work that is beginning to pile up. I haven’t even gone out for a ride more than twice a week, tops.
So naturally it’s time for Vegas. I’m not a gambler, but I played the tables for about 12 hours (in our quick 48-hour trip) and came away about $25 shy. Nice. I was invited on this trip by the O’Rourke clan. There’s about 50 cousins, and 15 of them went – I just jumped in. It was all a surprise to cousin Danny O’Donnell, and he was really shocked to see the big crowd.
Two highlights (that can be mentioned, anyway) – the first was renting ATVs in the desert. It took up half of one day, but man was it fun. This outfit let you go nuts - no guides. We had a blast. Keith took this pic:
Then we saw this fella. We even waited for him to come out after his show. He was very gracious and appreciative that we stuck around to meet him. He moves a lot in this clip. We saw him mostly sit. My sister visited Big Elvis last year!

is he supposed to be the biggest or something? i am an unrepentant elvis fan, but seeing footage of him circa 74-77, bloated and sweating, always makes me sad…
We were guessing that he had to push 500 lbs. He was so damn nice it was unreal. I just wish he moved more.
BTW - I can’t tell you from the real McCoy when you sing “Blue Christmas”. Stacey played your rendition for me this last holiday season.
