The quarter is rapidly coming to an end, papers are coming due, and finals approach. So I am doing the obvious thing, and leaving for Vegas in the morning. Should be fun, and a chance to end a rather long losing streak. Fortunately, my losses have been relatively small and I had a few very large wins before the streak began. We'll see how it goes; in any event, I really need a vacation. Just wish I didn't have a lot of work waiting for me when I get home.
