Las Vegas Stats

# of cute baby compliments: Many, which got me thinking is Val still gonna be cute when she gets older? Just take a look at Macauley Culkin.

# of other infants & toddlers I saw in Vegas: Enough, so that Sherry & I didn't feel too uncomfortable.

# of dollars won from gambling: 257, I almost lost it all but I got lucky from slapping it all down a couple times and winning.

# of hours it took to get to Vegas: 8.5, the most arduous part of the trip for me, due to all the sitting my butt had to do without a nice cushion.

# of swear words used within an earshot of Valerie: 5, I don't like it, but what can you do when you live in a country with freedom of speech.

# of meals per day: 2.5, we stuffed ourselves eating buffets, so we didn't need 3 full meals a day, except for Val.

# of times Sherry went to Starbucks to get her fix: 2, I even find it highly addicting, but thank goodness, I'm extremely lactose intolerant.

# of times Valerie got trampled over: Once, not unexpected because Valerie either wanted only Sherry to hold her or she wanted to walk by herself. I'm gonna give her stroller training from now on (in addition to tennis).

# of scantily clad women I saw: None, I only have eyes for my wife!
