I'm going to Vegas - probably

I got a call from my dad. He and Yve are finalizing arrangements for their wedding this July, and were wondering if I could take off of work long enough to spend a week in Vegas for the wedding. It makes sense for them to have it there; it's like their home-away-from-home and his proposal to her last year was on a Vegas-bound flight (he said the flight crew was really nice and helped plan it out with inflight announcements and champagne, if anyone's thinking of proposing in the air). They booked the wedding chapel and banquet room for July 7, 2007 . What a cute idea . . . getting married in Vegas on 7-7-7.

Of course I'm going to the wedding. Work schedules are irrelevant. How could I miss my own father's wedding? Having said that though, I'm kind of worried about my schedule at the high school. The wedding just happens to be during final exams. For now my diabolical scheme is to give exams a week early during class time and leave the grades for another teacher to hand in for me. Mwah-ha-ha. No point in asking the school for permission only to have my request denied . . . I'm just gonna do it.

I like Vegas because even if you don't like gambling it's fun to just walk around and check out the buildings. Hopefully I can get tickets to Cirque de Soleil or see some magic shows. They always look so cool on TV. Oh, and dance clubs! It's been forever since I've been to a REAL club. I'll have to pack that shiny black shirt I got from Speck. Can't wait!
