Sarah and I met up with Jon, Scott, Jesse, and Grib in Las Vegas last weekend and we had a fun time.
- I got to play the Monorail Song via YouTube on my phone while on the Las Vegas Monorail rather than just chanting monorail like last
year.
- I didn't lose more gambling than I spent on food for the trip.
- Contrary to what some suggested, Sarah and I did not get married in Vegas.
- I finally saw a live Penn & Teller show and it was great!

article is published." Humorous commentor John writes in response: "If you were to disappear off the face of the Earth, how long would it be before we knew?"
