Tired of Father complaining about his slow computer so I pulled another 1-800-GATEWAY. Nothing fancy, just more up to date for him.

I had a great night’s sleep. But I’m still tired. Think I’ll go back to bed and sleep for a month.

Did the whole grilling thing over at the Loreys. It’s Labor day or Memorial Day or something. Anyway, Dean grilled burgers and sausages and we ate them.

Vegas was fun. We saw “O”. The hotel upgraded us cuz it was our wedding. We ended up with a great suite. Dean and I hit the Blackjack tables and I was up $800 by the end of our stay and Dean was up more than two grand…all the while the girls partied and bought stuff.

The wedding was small but sweet. Mel always said she never wanted a big wedding but I was surprised Vegas was acceptable to her. Guess she just wanted to bind me while I was finally willing. Little does she know I’m the one who won the prize. Tricked that silly wench into bein’ my woman.

Funny, on the way there, Mel pulled one of her “I just saw a dead body on the side of the road” deals. It was no trick and no joke. In her mind there was really a dead body there. This happens all the time and I do mean all. Bigfoot. UFO’s. The Lock Ness. Mel believes in all of it. Dead bodies too. It’s never dull, always the fantastical. And what is really really really odd is that some times she hits. Not even Vegas could tally her true odds at winning at the unworldly.
On the way back the news reported some hitch hiker finding a dead body on the side of the road exactly where we were when Mel said she saw it and I ignored her. Oh well.

Leaving for Vegas today. We’re driving…wondering if that’s gonna be a mistake. We rented a car since that will be nicer than dragging my new bride across California on her wedding day in an old beat up Chevy.
