HERE'S TO YOU THURSDAY

SURPRISE. Drum roll please. Despite the fact that I am on vacation, I STILL managed to put this here post together!!!  I am not certain that is as stellar as past posts, but it is ON TIME!!!


This is a weekly event landing typically on Thursdays.  The best (or worst) part is that I am not going to explain why I chose "whatever" footage for each of you. If, you watch your footage and are scratching your head at the end, well that means I didn't do a very good job. However, all is not lost. You can email me at rarichards68@gmail.com and ask me what I was thinking when I chose that particular piece of footage off of youtube and connected it to you. And then I will tell you. Then I will start sending up prayers that I haven't offended the crap out of whoever is on the receiving end of that email....lol. Because, honestly, I will tell you right now... I admire all of you enormously so I really hope that doesn't happen.

Also, this is not an exclusive venture by any means. I hope that you will take the time to watch ALL of the footage because I don't pick bad footage:-) I also hope that you might check out the blog of the person I dedicated the footage to because they are pretty darn awesome. If you haven't figured this out yet... I pick the footage based on something that you've written or something that I've gleaned from your personality. Think on that for a while... If you are having trouble watching the entire video (meaning it is being cut off on one side), click on it a couple of times and it will take you straight over to youtube. If you click on the four squares at the bottom corner of the video, it will enlarge it to fill your screen. The escape key will bring it back to normal size. The back arrow will bring you back to my page.

Now, let's get this PARTY STARTED!!!!

Reporting Again from Las Vegas

I have taken so many pictures that I cannot even begin to post them all.  Our time at The Excalibur was fun.  We went to all of the casinos surrounding it... including Mandalay Bay, New York New York, and The Luxor.  My mom is tired of walking.  I am feeling a wee bit achy, too.  Who am I kidding?  My feet are killing me.  These casinos are HUGE.  What appears to be a small distance on the map is a long darn way in real life.  Just sayin.'

Here are some highlights (you can click on any picture to make it larger):

The Excalibur

However, we did go to The Tropicana!

HERE'S TO YOU FRIDAY AND BOTB RESULTS

SURPRISE. Drum roll please.  I warned you that it was coming and here it is.  HERE'S TO YOU FRIDAY my friends!

I am also posting the Battle of the Bands results one day early.  Elvis won it with 14 votes.  Lick The Tins only got three, and that was including mine.  Hail to The King!
