Tue night

Hey, just got home. Kind of late. Actually, I went out for dinner and drinks after work. Went to Pastis. As usual, nice atmosphere, totally packed. Had a couple libations

Marlena txt'd me a few times this evening. She is bummed she couldn't make it to Vegas to meet up the crew, but she is going to try and come to NY next month. She is funny.

Good day at work, got a lot done.

Mon night

I am back home in NY. Just got here.

Nota: Mama, ja he arribat a casa. Si veus aixo primer, tambe t'he enviat un email. Estic be, he tingut molta feina tot el dia i despres el vol es molt llarg i no t'he pogut trucar fins ara a la nit.

I'm pretty tired. Have to go to work tomorrow, lots of stuff to catch up on, not really looking forward to it

Sun night

The number 48 car, Jimmie Johnson's, won the race today:



Back at the hotel. Just took a shower. Getting ready to go out.

Sunday afternoon

Got to the track by 6:30 am this morning. The ambassadors were ready by 7:03 am. Everything ran flawlessly. It's windy. The forecast calls for wind gusts of up to 50 mph. The crew is slightly worried about the tent structure, but I think it will be fine.

We ate at one of the MGM restaurants last night, excellent food. I didn't realize the MGM is so big, it's an enourmous complex with lots of entertainment, clubs, restaurants, shops, etc. besides the casino floor. I spent some time at the blackjack tables. Not long, just about 30 to 45 min. I played dumb and made an easy $50 with a rookie dealer. May spend some more time tonight. We are planning on going to one of the new clubs the ambassadors recommended (some work there), I think it's called Pure.

Switching subjects back to the race, Matt Kenseth was fastest in Saturday's final practice. Will he visit Victory Lane at Las Vegas for the third consecutive year? The UAW-Daimler Chrysler 400 takes the green flag shortly after 3 p.m. ET!



Sat night

I checked into the MGM Grand in Las Vegas a couple of hours ago. I'm in the west wing, which has been completely remodeled. Got a brand new room, supposedly I'm the first one to use it (new bed, new sheets, etc.)

Feels good to have a real shower. I may hit the main strip tonight, may even play a hand of blackjack or two
