In accordance with my newfound jetset lifestyle, this post is also a few days old.

Las Vegas was once again fantastic. Although this time I probably saw less of it than I have in previous trips. Kat and I spent the majority of our time playing poker in the mirage poker room. Their poker room is still awesome - the dealers are understand the game, deal quickly, and don’t put up with a bunch of shit from people. Just the way I like it. I think I played a total of 28 hours of poker over the course of 3 days and 3 nights. We even got line passes and comps for some food, which was a nice touch. I also met some pretty interesting people again. Probably not anyone I’ll ever see again, but who knows. It’s funny though. I got back from vegas last night at 11pm and I’m currently trying to think of when the next time I can go will be.

I’m on my way to Buffalo, NY right now. Once I get off the plane I’m going to drive to Toronto to attempt to solve a customer issue onsite. This is the first time I’ve ever had to do this, so while I’m anxious about whether I’ll actually be able to solve the problem, I’m excited as well. My plane is flying over whichever of the great lakes is by buffalo and i’m in this horrendously small plane so we’re flying much lower to the ground than we would be in a 737. It’s pretty cool though. Since it’s fall, you can see all the trees changing color, which happens in Austin to some degree but nothing on the order of being this far north. This will be my first trip into Canada, and honestly it’s going to be hard to look this customer in the face and not continually sing “Blame Canada” to myself.
