Just a little bit of time until the end of the work day and we all head on our way to the Memorial Day weekend. I'm a little more excited than that because I'll be getting on a plane for my annual trip to Vegas (I guess it's not really annual since I normally take more than one trip up a year).
This trip is going to be kind of special, though. Aside from playing in one of the WSOP events, I'm going to be heading to Northern Nevada to go dig for opals at one of the mines up there. It's something that my father had always wanted to do before passing away two years ago. Due to this and that, we were never able to schedule the trip. When my father got sick, I knew that it would be a trip that I would never have the opportunity to make with him.
2010 has been a year of change so far. The biggest being starting a new job. I also started a few new things that seem to be more productive than my previous habits. Maybe I'll even start writing a bit more and blog updates will become a regular occurence here.
In either event, I'm looking forward to this trip because I'll be heading out to do something that my father always wanted to do. I have dad's picture in my wallet where I always keep it, and I have a few of his things packed in my suitcase. I'm a little leery of the 10 hour drive from Vegas to the middle of nowhere, but I'm really looking forward to it too.
More to come.
