I wish many of you would stop acting like a cyclops and disrupting this thread.

What's good in Vegas restaurants these days? Don't need super-fancy but just very good food. Last time there we spent way too much at Bouchon and were very underwhelmed by it. Heading out Saturday just for a few days' relaxation (and poker for Mr. krista).

Wow, just looked this up. Hadn't heard of it and looks amazing from all the reviews. Cool.

We're also thinking of CARNEVINO. Anybody been there?

Drinking rum and listening to Raising Hell by Run DMC, possibly the best album ever made.

Also got word today that AngryWife wants to move her birthday dinner up a week so she can hang out with her new best friend at a wedding reception on the day the party was originally planned for. Which would be fine if it was just a dinner. What she doesn't know is that I have my parents coming down to watch the boys overnight, her best friend coming up from Houston for the day, a spa appointment and hotel reservations a ta boutique hotel in north Austin that all need to be redone if this is going to happen.

Nothing makes me feel like a big man like bribing teachers.

That's pretty much how we've kept JR in the good graces of the preschool. I think half the toys in the place are donated from our house and AngryWife leads and contributes to every charitable project.

Dylan has been so freaking easy, there has never been a reason to do such things considering he gets really good grades and all. He just keep pushing his luck though and as Cal correctly pointed out, he likes being the center of attention. So his teacher has been really hard on him lately sending notes home. I of course try to tell him he shouldn't act goofy at school :sternlook:. Last week he brought a note home that said "he stuck a sticker on his forehead and was acting like a cyclops disrupting the class". Even Mrs. SLB was like oh some on!! He's six!!

Divorce is probably the only move here.

On my third bottle of wine by myself and watching season 1 of Da Vinci's Demons. I may be a touch intoxicated, but loving this show.

There were apparently a lot of very impressive naked chicks in Florence around 1475.

Bob, you're buying Dylan this shirt and sending him to school wearing it.

Did I send you a blank text today somehow? You show up as the last text on my phone, but with no content.

No, but I just texted you a family portrait that I drew this morning. JR took a tumble on the back porch this morning and scraped his foot up pretty bad. When I asked how I could make him feel better, he asked me to make him a get well card. So I did.

The card and a couple waffle made everything better.

Chick (platonic) I was visiting in Athens and I went to a pizza place. There is Stipe sitting with some weirdo chick a the booth right next to ours. I'm slightly starstruck but apparently everybody in Athens treats him like a regular dude. I wait about 20 minutes. He lights up a smoke. I use that as an opportunity to ask "I'm sorry, but is it OK to smoke in here?" He nods and half-mumbles "sure". I light up and say "I'm from California so I always have to ask". He gives me a nod and goes back to shuffling through a bunch of scraps of paper/napkins.

The next night, after going to a bunch of bars, the same chick and I end up at some proto-hipster after-hours eatery. Stipe and the same weird broad take a seat near us about 15 minutes later. I'm a bit shammered this time. I think I said something like "So we can smoke in here just like the pizza place, right?" He mumbles and nods again.

Stipe: See story above.

Peter Buck: Chick and I go to see Concrete Blond at local club. Very cool venue. Chick and I are waiting in line to pay cover (I think she had free tickets). Chick says to me "don't look but Peter Buck is right behind you." I had told her earlier that Buck was the one guy I actually wanted to meet.

We enter club and get our hands stamped. From behind me I hear Buck talking to bouncer/whatever. Apparently he thought he was on the guest list. Seems that he wasn't. Instead of making a stink about it he just says "that's cool". I came within 2 seconds of turning around and saying "I'LL GIVE HIM MY FREE TICKET!" but I didn't. Guy just turns around and leaves. Weird.

So after the show chick and I are outside. Guys from Concrete Blonde are hanging out. I give them the old "great set etc". I think I might have lied about seeing them in L.A. back in 1980whatever. Next thing I know Johnette Whatever is running out the back door and jumps in a Jeep. Chick says that was Peter Buck's Jeep. That was about it.

Give me a minute to regale you with my Mike Mills story.

The "weird broad" that Stipe was with is the best part so far.

Ummm...no idea what that means.

But she was cute with an amazing spinner body. And LOADED. Her dad was the CEO of some energy conglomerate. Like Amalgamated Hay or something.

Sophomore year I see her with some sort of pamphlet for a "Barefoot Cruise" type of ship for charter (we went to a private school where there was a mix of very rich kids and schulbs like me) . I asked her "Oh, are your parents thinking of taking a cruise?". She came back with "No, my dad owns that ship. He charters it out."

Then again I also consider her the "bullet I dodged". She turned out to be flaky as hell with an "only child/I will do whatever I want" attitude. 86% sure I would have ended up as the guy at the family events drinking with the hired help and trying to buy coke off of the younger cousins.
