What happens in Vegas....

What happens in Vegas is that it can get really hot in the Summer. Really hot. Like 110 degrees yesterday. Like 95 degrees at 5am this morning. Like 95 degrees this morning when I ran.

Dry heat you say? Try Houston heat. Try Washington heat. Humidity abound. Still, there I was at 5:15 am running down the Vegas strip. I passed many people and things:

Young women obviously leaving from or going to the rooms of men that dont know their names and dont care about them.

Gamblers who, at 5 am in the morning, were feeding the gaming monsters.

Early morning workers making sure that each hotel property remained pristine.

And, upon my return, that blessed security guard who I thought was staring me down. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face: "Hey!" he shouted....from across the line of taxis....would you like some water?" He must have seen how exhausted I looked.

The run was great. I sped walked very hard and ran very light. I dressed and showered in enough time to be downstairs for a 7 am presentation.
