Carefully considered titles

I’m back in San Francisco after my third trip to Vegas this year/ever, second in a month. It’s excessive I know, but also a really unlikely pairing. I’m not much of a clubber, I don’t gamble particularly well, and I’ve never taken in a show, but I always have a damn good time – something I can directly attribute to the clutch crew of collaborators I’ve had on all of these trips.
This time was no different.
I boarded my flight back to SF this afternoon with a notably strong feeling of euphoria. It’s easy to attribute it to the tail end of a Craps adrenaline high, but I want to also call out the full weekend without any worry about work surrounded by a few amazing friends. In my mind, the euphoria was a result of the stress-happiness ratio swinging back into black with authority.
Of course like any index, it will be back into the red eventually, probably very soon as Friday is my appointment with the wisdom tooth fairy. But, to keep the financial metaphor going, I’m going to have to be more proactive about investing in this area going forward. It felt damn good to be that happy, though a little bittersweet to realize I may be feeling a little bit more blah on average than I thought.
In any case, if anyone else is making the trek to Vegas and wants to add a +1 to their Ocean’s X, you give me notice and I’ll be there. And, if you look at most of my travel: the epic BC road trip of 2005, the epic dominican trip of 2008, the epic east coast road trip of 2008, Greece, Japan/China/Taiwan, and even all the little trips to the lake – I can conclusively say that I love traveling, as long as I’m doing it with awesome people.
(Cue sappiness for Dave) And thankfully, I have no shortage of awesome people to call on.
