Leaving Las Vegas

Well, I'm just back from a short, but long enough, weekend in Las Vegas. The highlight--Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up act at Cesar's Palace. He is truly the comic genius of our time and did not disappoint in this one hour laugh-after-laugh show. Seinfeld's forte is finding the hilarious in the mundane acts of daily life. The news ticker, cereal, parenting, the iPhone, Jerry touched on it all. He is much funnier in person than on TV. His physical comedy, timing, etc., is as stellar as his verbal comedy--even a little bit Krameresq in its delivery.
I hadn't been to Vegas in over a year, since May of 2006. The city continues to morph into a surreal fusion of what's real and what's definitely not real. It is more crowded than ever, even in the early part of hot, hot August, there were people everywhere at all hours of the day. It's more expensive than ever.
I have never seen so many bachelorette parties in one place at one time. Or, as many brides.
It's so nice to be back in cool, foggy and quiet San Francisco.
