HIATUS

It takes longer and longer to get back and blog. Has it lost some of its allure?. Is it becoming just another chore like cleaning or other that you just don't feel like doing?..
There is plenty to say about things happening all around.
Yet, I just don't seem like I want to get on the computer every morning, like I used to and rush to read someone else's blog.
From time to time I still will get on the computer and read some, leave some comments but not blog anything.
Today is the exception. There is so much to talk about:

Weather: (Cold finally arrived here in Vegas-40 degrees this morning)
Work: (No GM for us yet, so I am still running the show, perhaps that is why I do not blog as much--Too busy!)
Love life: (Melissa and I still going at it, settling into a routine perhaps---Gotta change that)
Politics: Everyone is turning on Bush, including those who were closest to him. Is Clinton or Obama the answer to this country's problems..... Not quite sure. On the one hand it is time that we elect, or at least consider a woman for the presidency, but just because it is Hillary Clinton, again. I am not so sure.
Kids: (I can't believe how big and tall they are getting. In a couple of years, they will be as tall if not taller than me.)
I am so ready for a long vacation....
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, even though it may be one day late.
I am thankful for all the good stuff that happened over the last year and for my little family.
As far as all the bad stuff, what bad stuff! It's all in the past.

YURIDIA

WINDING DOWN

The end of the year is quickly approaching and we are already looking at presents for Christmas, mainly for the kids.
Melissa's birthday is coming up soon, right after Thanksgiving. I also have plans of going to L.A. next weekend for a Quinceaniera. That should be fun. Not certain of going yet since we still do not have a GM at our place and on that same night, there is a concert (Piano-man)
Tomorrow, we are sponsoring an "invited" only mini concert at Studio 54. Featuring Mexican singer Yuridia During the last 3 weeks, we have been giving away tickets and passes to the concert. Thursday is the actual Latin Grammy's and all this week, there are concerts trhoughout most of the big nightclubs featuring latin singers.
Work has been fairly busy at least I have a more balanced schedule with Sundays and Mondays off. Blogging has taken a back seat to most of those activities. It does not mean that I am completely off blogger. 'till next time.
