Tired from travel. Good books. Headed back to Vegas

Well, I'm back from my whirlwind training trips. A good time was had by all, but I'm happy to be home. Two cities in two days was fun, but it took it's toll. The first city was fine, I got there, went to work, checked into the hotel and had an evening to kill. It felt like regular work, just with a longer commute. It was the second day that killed me. Get up, check out, go to the airport, fly to where ever, catch a cab to work, do my thing, get a lift back to the airport and fly home. I don't know if it was the two flights in one day or what, but man, after that second day, it felt like I'd been gone for a month. I am glad to be home.

One good thing about my travels is that I had plenty of time to read. I finished two books in two weeks. Felt pretty good. I read One Magical Sunday (But Winning Isn't Everything) by Phil Mickelson and The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown.

Phil's book was an easy read, but a good one. It's always interesting to see things from the other side and find out more about a person. Especially a guy like Phil, who is a really cool guy. Kinda fun to get in his head a little bit.

The DaVinci Code was a LOT of fun to read and I would recommend it to anyone. From the first few pages I was hooked. I bought it in the airport in Denver two weeks ago and I finished it on my way back from California just as the pilot was announcing that we were making our final descent into Salt Lake City. Pretty good timing if you ask me.

I came back to find that my wife and her parents are planning a trip to Vegas in March for a horse show. Any excuse to go to Vegas is a good excuse to go to Vegas. Besides, the Mandalay Bay still has $100 of my money and I want it back. :-) Guess it's time to start saving the nickles and dimes again so I have money to play with. That and I'll have more than one evening to lose it all in. Good times.
