Ben Lesser’s voice is strong as he talks about smell of the smoke coming from the smoke stacks at Auswitz, and Buchenwald. He speaks in a clam practiced voice as he talks about the orange flames belching the smoke and the ashes that were human beings minutes before and though his voice shakes on occasion he is surprisingly calm when he talks about the…

I don't if any of you have ever seen a man in his mid 50s dressed like GI Joe carrying a Captain America shield or a 5 foot 4 inch Thor with a bleached blonde beard but in the City of Sin It is not an uncommon experience. We see such characters on street corner's along with assorted Elvi and a lifesized talking statue waiting for the 4 p.m. bus. This week comic book fans converged on the City of Siin attired in assorted get ups as homage to their favorite hero, heroine or villain.…

There is a point in your life when you really need to stop trying to be cool. It is a fact that often seems to elude visitors to the City of Sin.
For instance streaking was all the rage back in the day. In 1975 running butt naked down the avenue was a very cool courageous thing. In 2012 not so much…like the guy who decided to strip down to his birthday suit and haul ass down Las Vegas boulevard with several of Las Vegas’s finest (who were wearing clothes) pursuing…

Think about the City of Sin inundated with waves of pony tailed marijuana fans, T-shirt salesman hocking shirts bearing iconic portraits of world leaders, people shucking and jiving for money, shoving their resumes in people faces and important people rallying their troops for an barrage of upcoming November battles.
That’s exactly what happened this week as Clark County’s ( that the county where Las Vegas is) version of the democratic convention.

This weeks jogger report….
I swear I saw a jogger running with a cup of coffee in his hand. Maybe it was water but it sure looked like coffee. Now that’s a feine head (caffeine lover)
Anyone so determined to have that first drink of caffeine laden coffee in his hand when he is ready that he brings it with him on the morning jog is a dedicated feine head. Sin City might run on ego, alcohol and hormones but it survives the morning on coffee, old music and bad lighting.…

One of the weirder things that happened in the City of Sin this week was a conversation about penis length and the way women feel about it.
. I had this conversation with a man who will remain anonymous for what I should think are obvious reasons.
Anyway this gentleman, I think I can use that word, was complaining quite loudly about a girl he knew who was a decided snob.

I often talk about the wonderful apathy of the City of Sin. This week emphasized that paradigm in dramatic fashion.
First there was the eccentric gentleman who proudly stood on a Sin City street corner on Flamingo Road with a bright yellow sign proclaiming the Evils of…

Sometimes people come to this city to be noticed. Some come to the City of Sin to not be noticed which is kind of silly when you think about it. It's a lot like a rooster hiding in a flock of peacocks hoping to be mistaken for a crow. The most memorable stories occur when these would be party animals wake up, not only wondering how they got in an elderly man's bed but surprised they are in Las Vegas in an elderly…

This week in Vegas starts with a sample of radio traffic at a local casino after an employee was sent to the valet parking stand in the back of the hotel by his dispatcher. ( For all you non locals. On strip hotels the front of the hotel is the side that is closest to the strip and front valet or main valet is the one nearest the strip.
Employee “Which valet?”
Dispatcher “rear valet
Employee “where is that???”
Dispatcher “the one in the back”
Question of…

________________
The Four Agreements are: 1. Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don’t Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. 3. Don’t Make Assumptions Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. 4. Always Do Your Best Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
I have been a multitude of shapes, Before I assumed a consistent form.

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Richard Bach
Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.
Richard Bach
Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddha
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
Lao Tzu
The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.
