Guess who's back...back again...

Yep, I'm back from Argentina, and at work again. Le sigh, :-(... I had a good time down there, though it was a bit stressful to be around the paternal units for two weeks. They're moving to an apartment in downtown Buenos Aires, and leaving the house I grew up in (which makes total sense, since my sister Victoria and I both live here in the States, leaving just the two of them). Consequently I had to go through a TON of old boxes and stuff, letting them know what to throw out, what to keep, what to give away, etc. For those who are interested, here's a selection of pics. Captions are in Spanish, so if there are any burning questions just let me know.

Last Friday afternoon I got to go to Atlantic City with work again, this time to the Trump Taj Mahal (last year we went to The Borgata), and it was a pretty good time. We were supposed to go to Mohegan Sun instead of A.C., but apparently rooms there are worth $300 a night, and only $70-$75 at the Taj (it was still huge and pretty nice). Oh well, the four seasons of Mohegan will have to wait! I lost $100 at the Blackjack tables, but I played for a solid two hours, so I got my gambling fix without ending up too far into the red. My coworker Roman ended up down ~$200, and Robert ended up down $120, so I guess I ended up alright, :-).

The other newsworthy item is that, after about 5 years, I decided to shave off my goatee. I did it on a whim this past Saturday afternoon, after getting back from Atlantic City, and I've regretted it ever since, sniff sniff. Here is end result (I tried posting one of the photos earlier, but apparently it doesn't always load).

While I don't hate it, per se, I much prefer how I look with the goat. I think it really suits my face. Oh well, it'll be back in a week or two, so it isn't really that bad!

Ok kiddies, back to work, since there's a lot of it.

Hugs,
Luis
