You pose some thoughtful queries. On the one hand, the trip was an exercise in gratitude, not to just your boss, but to all the things your job provides that you decide are worthwhile to you (art and photo gallery, bookstore visit). Yes, how can we be in a world that is so over the top and not really be a part of it. Heck, I would give a lot just to be able to work in a position that allowed me to pay my bills.<br />Thanks for the post, it was very well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804148397927127420.post-28851534482595773402009-06-06T22:08:03.501-04:002009-06-06T22:08:03.501-04:00Ah, I'm so sorry you can't see the photos....Ah, I'm so sorry you can't see the photos. Lots of bright, shiny things for a crow to be attracted to, until it becomes apparent that there's little substance behind the baubles. You're right that so many of our needs are illusions, and Vegas serves as a symbol of that.<br /><br />I'm glad you made the quest, my friend.KaliDurgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218716336939570814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804148397927127420.post-35375628828048944942009-06-05T09:36:38.372-04:002009-06-05T09:36:38.372-04:00"massive over-consumption"

It's an amazing testament to humanity's cravings and urges, and I can see how, for some people at least, in some ways, it could be a lot of fun. But for me, the exotic novelty wore off after the first trip. <br /><br />(Google has <b>the</b> best word verifications.)KaliDurgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218716336939570814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7804148397927127420.post-87751809023159039822009-06-03T11:10:49.465-04:002009-06-03T11:10:49.465-04:00omg... all i can think is MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY!...omg... all i can think is MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />i've never been to vegas... i don't think i could handle it with all the vanity and flashing lights...<br /><br />and about the fancy restaurants... i hope that you didn't have to foot the bill!!!<br /><br />the plus side here is that you've written a great review of your trip and shared a bunch of great photos with us all...<br /><br />thanks!<br /><br />bye for now...<br /><br />(word verification asks for "modinest")Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415555531504843017noreply@blogger.com
