Yes. It's time. This could get messy. Wish me luck.

Update: Well I'm back. Not as much drama as I thought. Some glitches. Had to upgrade a few plugins. By and large, not too shabby an upgrade.

In case anybody's wondering, I'm running a modded Connections Theme, so I imagine the "off the shelf" version should work swimmingly with Wordpress 2.0.

May yours be warm, safe, and happy.

Pimpin' Santa

Yes it's time for a little last minute Christmas shopping at the Fashion Show Mall here in Las Vegas. Who, but who could resist jolly old Saint Nick and his band of merry Barbie Elves? I never knew Santa was quite the stud. Yowsa! Forget about his list. I wanna see his little black book!

Now this guy right here reeeeally knows how to shop. While the wife is off doing her thing, it's "find the nearest waiting area" and then it's "lights out". We men cannot be bothered with such things as shopping bags and pushy sales people.

More Slide Rock pics.

Just got back from a trip to Arizona with Peggy, My sister Nancy and her friend and former college roommate, Janet. It was just a quick weekend thing to check out some stuff we hadn't seen before. On the way out we stopped in Flagstaff & Sedona. There was this place called Slide Rock State Park which I'd come to find out is a very popular attraction in the warmer months. Arizona has some really pretty areas to see. We'll have to go back for more of it sometime.

More Grand Canyon pics.

After seeing Slide Rock, we took off for the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. I'd seen it before... in pictures & movies. But nothing can prepare you for the enormity of this canyon. It's just huge. There are certain points along the rim where you can walk up, take your pictures, and be somewhat protected by a handrail, but by and large, you are not coddled by any sort of idiot protection. If you get too close, slip, and fall... they will be scraping your dumb ass up off the bottom of the canyon. Vacation over. All in all, is is quite a spectacular sight. I would someday like to return and visit the North Rim and perhaps even go down to the bottom where the Colorado River is.
