Back from Vegas. Fantasy Football draft a success. Any trip to Vegas in which I don't lose the house or die is a success in my mind. Physical recovery virtually complete. Next stop...Outer Banks for a little R & R with the familia.
Quick story: Had a connection in Phoenix. Plane started boarding, then stopped. I decided to nap. Woke up some 20 minutes later, and a few minutes before my flight was scheduled to leave. Door shut. Jump up, grab my luggage and move towards counter. Trip over something. 50ish lady had her leg in the aisle. I ask if she's ok. She's says "I hope so, because I've got a broken foot." 15 seconds pass, she hasn't cried out for medical attention. I go to the counter, but ahead in line. "I fell asleep" "We haven't started boarding again." "Oh, ok." Since I cannot escape on board the plane, I return to the incident and apologize profusely. Because I didn't refracture her foot, this seemed to satisfy her and the dozens of onlookers. I go back to my book until plane boards.
Finished Life of Pi yesterday. It was supposed to be the backup book to when I finish PILLAR OF FIRE: AMERICA IN THE KING YEARS 1963-65, but ended up starting and finishing Life of Pi first.

How can you post a story about Vegas/FF draft with no mention of the team you drafted or a good Vegas story?
Booooooo.
I'm still watching you. I affirm the opinion of anonymous. Keep an eye out for my soon to be made TV movie. I will expect you to verify actual Wichita locations.

Deacon Jones = Hater. Look I'm not a dire hard FF fan, but it's a trip to Vegas. Come on, I'd be stupid not to play.
