51st Birthday

(Community Matters) Cirque du Soleil’s O with Luke Saturday night. Dinner after at the Cosmopolitan joined by his senior staff members and Angela his boss from Chicago.

Spent the day just me and Steven, mostly touring Hoover Dam which we loved.

I’d been to the Hoover Dam, at least twice before, but touring America as a 40-something and 50-something adult is so different – much greater appreciation for what we’ve built, for what our parents and grandparents sacrificed to build this country’s infrastructure.

gotta love those cheesy superimposed tourist pictures 🙂

Law Enforcement Charitable Telemarking

(Community Matters) organizations raising millions and spending 4 and low-five figures on the cause. Excellent AAS article by my friend Tony Plohetski
