I was sitting here in my living room, replying to some emails and catching up on a few things online when I heard it: the sweet, violent, glorious sound of thunder!

I’ve written before about how the one thing I miss about living where I grew up in Texas is the weather. There is something so amazing and so emotionally invigorating about thunderstorms to me. Serious rains storms make me feel so relaxed and so at peace… You just don’t get a lot of them here in the desert. When it does rain, though, it makes it all the more a treat for me.

Starting tomorrow, I’m going to begin a series of articles on “While Las Vegas Sleeps…” that will just sort of happen upon occasion, most likely after I’ve recently visited one of the places I will have written about. I’ve been meaning to do this for some time but I am going to make an effort to do so effective immediately.

Las Vegas, Nevada is a lot things. It’s obviously the gaming capital of the world and that is just about all that most people know about Las Vegas.
