a lot has happened in the last month

Live, from Las Vegas, I blog. Seriously. McCarran Airport has free wifi, so I thought I would post a little update. Las Vegas is surrounded by mountains. For those of you that have never been here, they are big.
I was in Dallas this morning and Vegas is my pit stop on the way to Cali. SoCal. Irvine to be exact. The weather in Dallas was wonderful (TSB said there was ice in Waltham this morning! tee heee) and the people were even better. I was visiting UTSW on a job interview (POSTDOC!) and I have another interview at UC Irvine tomorrow. I am excited but starting to get tired. There was not a lot of sleep had the week before I left, and the time changes are wrecking a little havoc.
From what I hear (and see), the weather here is making it hard to land, so there are a bunch of planes circling overhead. It is really dark out, like thunderstorm clouds in NE, but there doesn't appear to be any rain, at least on the ground.
Anyway, our plane is not here yet, but we are supposed to be boarding in about now. Hrm. I will take pictures of the outside, but I can upload them, since I don't have that cable with me.
I can say that I lost $3 gambling in the airport this morning. I was up to $6.50, but then got greedy and lost it all.
OK kids, off to take some pictures of some casinos and some nasty thunderheads. This place is getting crowded, since no one is taking off right now. I think that as soon as I leave my seat, it will be gone. Along with the power outlet.

Ciao.
