Neighbour John was in Vegas over the past few days, and he compiled this e-mail 37 thousand feet in the air.
John took the whole family to Vegas, and among the activities was a wedding. To mark their 25th anniversary, John and his wife Ally repeated their vows in a little Vegas chapel on the strip.
They also posed for this "Shrek" picture.
Freddie,
I just got bored a couple thousand feet up on the plane, and thought I would send ya a couple of pics from, the one and only, Neighbor John's Vegas Vacation. On a side note, I've been waiting on the waitress (oh no I said waitress), I meant the stewardess, and if she sees this we can bet I will never get my $6.00 can of warm Heiney. I don't mean to be nasty, but whoa, she was probably not bad looking - back in the 60's. Anyway, they are giving money away in Vegas, and I am gonna get me some. Here's the deal, if you bet on the Leafers to win Lord Stanley's mug, they will give you 40 to 1. So please, see the attached picture of me with my golden ticket in hand standing in front of the Vegas sign. And hey, it is just like taking candy from a baby! This is our year, GO Leafs GO!!!
This leads me to the next picture, inspired by Pete Rose, or as he should be known as Charlie Hustler, (what a goof). As we were walking through the fancy mall place, there Pete was, just sitting there in an overpriced memorabilia store in the heart of Vegas (a little ironic, I know). I'm actually not sure what I was expecting, but I had Mini Me with me so I just had to jump into my only Rose story. You know the one, All-star Game and smash, nail the back catcher. So, of course mini me is quite impressed that this guy is sitting only 4 feet away. As I tried to talk to Pete, I had to get in a line, (if three people even make a line). Anyway we spend seconds in this line and then we get taken out of it. It was one of those, you have to buy stuff to stand in this line- kind of line. As I pass him, I stuck out my hand right in his face, so he had to shake it. With little enthusiasm, he did. I told Pete how Mini Me likes the all-star story, and he just shrugs and ignores us- not impressed that I am talking to him for free. All of a sudden people that bought a bat show up, and we get the heeve hoe from the big shot. Okay, so I figure I might as well go check the price of a bat, and maybe get him talking to us. The price of the bat - $399, I don't think so. After all, a bat is not a hockey stick. It wasn't over yet though, so I figured I would take a look at the price of a baseball, and just maybe with a ball in hand we might get big Pete to talk to us. The turn out= $69 for a freakin' ball, no thanks. Anyway, I took this picture, and now, I just don't really want it.
Anyway, the warm Heiney is on it's way. Hope all is well and remember: there is still Stella to be finished in the tiki Bar. Last picture the kids are still laughing, I don't get it!!! Oh and Remind me to tell you about Whitney Houston's driver, real goof but I got the parking spot, Haha!!!
