I went to Indiana, working around my old home.  It was ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/06/23/return/ Father's Day... when we get together and say, "Thanks Dad, for putting up with me all those years, dealing with my BS, and loving me anyway." It takes a lot of patience to be a father.  My patience is put to the test when small things like my cat or my ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/06/16/fathers-day-08/ So, as mentioned in a previous post, I finally bought an X-Box 360, my first current generation system.  It's sad, being what a gaming nut I am, but honestly... I haven't been impressed by the games that have been coming out these days. But X-Box, ironically enough, has impressed me with ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/06/12/x-box-360/ So, it's been about a year since I moved out.  I know because the annual festival that came to my street when I moved in has just come again.  I wasn't all that impressed with the festival this time around.  Sure, they had the pineapple drink that I loved from ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/06/11/festival/ Yeah, I haven't been posting, sorry.  First, the information I wanted to post was lost when Zai's PDA crashed (I had her take some notes for me while in Vegas), then, I bought and X-Box 360... So I pretty much forgot about my computer at home.  Although I usually make these ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/06/03/still-alive/ Yeah, I know it's very late and it's been more than a week, but I've been very busy. So, restaurants!  Besides the shows and the casinos, I guess that's the third reason you'd go to Vegas, for the delicious and exotic food.  The first thing I learned about eating in Vegas: ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/05/19/vw-restaurant-review/ The whole reason for going to Vegas, the wedding.  I didn't really think about being married until about two days before the fact.  Afterwards, it started to hit me.  It still feels a little odd to say "my wife" or to think that I'm actually someone's husband.  But, here I ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/05/08/vw-wedding-review/ So, when you think of Vegas, Casinos are the first thing to come to mind.  And why not?  It is the city of gambling after all.  When I watched television, and I saw shots from Las Vegas, it always showed the same thing: Neon lights on the outside, and bright ... http://www.zelkun.com/2008/05/06/vw-hotel-casino-review/
