Perfect night last night. Sushi with 2 great friends, Transformers with 1, went to close down our regular joint with the other after the movie. 3am Denny's and up at 8:30am. WOO!

WOW! You look completely different. I had to do a double-take.

I agree with that. What I expected Alex to look like, I don't know.

How nice for you men, shave off your facial hair and instantly look years younger. :rolleyes:

And while I roll my eyes I do think it does make you look a lot younger. That not being your intention, I am sure.

That is a funny feeling, GD, you have made this big change and people don't realize it. Like you have some little secret....:D

GD! Wow! You have dimples now.

And Alex - you look nothing like I expected. (I've seen previous photos of GD - but I don't think I've seen any of you before.)

I guess the gods really wanted me in Vegas this weekend. My original trip was canceled but I was woken up to a text from a friend who said "vegas, leaving in an hour. you game?"

When destiny knocks I'm answering.

Day 2 and I'm still liking the bald chin. Though every time I pass a mirror it's like seeing a muppet without its nose.

Be sure to place a bet on #8 at the first roulette table you come to! (It's a Lot tradition....)

And stay inside, it's bloody hot even for Vegas. Oh and most importantly stay away from men wearing trench coats while in Vegas.

I don't feel well, but I guess I'm holding open house anyway. Entertain me.

I think about shaving mine a lot. since it started slowly turning white I start to wonder whats under there. I cut it way back for the camping trip but couldnt bring myself to actually doing it. last time was 11 years ago for a job interview. one time. took months to grow back. at least 7 years before that incident.

your mug looks good without it. different, but good. you'll likely look different still once the tan catches up

I like that mine is quickly going gray. Just this morning Lani announced that she'll no longer try to trim it out when I'm not looking since that would leave bald patches.

First of all, I didn't know it was a LoT tradition. Oddly enough, it's what I do almost every time I go to Vegas, but not necessarily the first thing I do. #8 is my favorite number.

Actually, many a Vegas trip has started with putting it all (all I was planning on losing in the first place) on Red or Black. If I win, I take the "winnings" and gamble with that, using the original gambling funds on a wild night or a nicer dinner.
