Before

After
As I mentioned in the previous post, my wife and I went on a road trip which included three days in Las Vegas (I can hardly believe it myself) and several days devoted to wandering the deserts north of Las Vegas and finished up crossing the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Yosemite National Park. From the uber artificiality of Vegas, to the stark emptiness of desert wilderness, our trip was a study in contrasts. Despite the schizophrenia of our trip, we had a great time and we came out $13 ahead. I recorded the bipolarity of our trip in the photographs shown below.
And before I forget, I did have an unfortunate relapse of my occasional narcolepsy which my wife thankfully caught on camera. If you are unfamiliar with this problem of mine then check out this post from earlier this year for a little backstory.

Is this photo a pleasing landscape shot of an amazing sunset or is it smut? And while you’re mulling that over, you should know that I will be leaving tomorrow for a five day road trip to Las Vegas and the Mojave desert. Hopefully, I will have something interesting to show and tell you about when I get back.

You would think after being blog-free for an entire month I would have something to say, but alas, I am pretty much a blank slate. I did manage to finally get a new computer, I read a couple of books, watched the first three seasons of Dexter back-to-back-to-back, had some sex, did some much needed nail maintenance, did a little photography, spoke a little Spanish, got into the intellectual scene, saw a guy about a horse, cooked some chicken, had some additional sex, argued with my neighbor about Y2K (I still believe nothing happened), just missed out on a Nobel Peace Prize, made lemonade when I had some lemons, poked a bear with a short stick, swore-off cliches, met some chiquitas from Omaha who actually said “Come dude, let’s get it on,” so naturally we proceeded to tear that hotel down, and finally ended up abstaining from sex altogether because of the chafing. Other than that, it was pretty much a complete waste of time. Thanks for your forbearance, I hope I can make it up to you all.
