I have a rescued Siberian Husky named Sundae.

I now live in Arizona. Most of my jobs have been in technical fields. Las Vegas is my “happy place”.

It was a warm December day when I found the footprints in the snow by my front door. Even though it was thirty degrees outside, the snow was still a few feet deep from the snowfall last Thursday. I had looked outside my door, making sure my car was there and not vandalized and instead saw the footprints across my front yard. I owned a home with a small yard and most of it comprised of a concrete driveway. The prints were visible, about the size of large dogs, but the details about the tracks caught my eyes. I had to bend over and get a closer view at their bizarre shape.

I immediately turn into the energizer bunny. I'm not quite sure what triggers this but its hard to narrow down since the lights, buildings, people and surroundings are all quite appealing. In a way it can almost be overwhelming at times. From shows to sightseeing to trying my luck at gambling there's always so much to see and do in such a short period of time. Perhaps trying to cram in all of it in just a few days is part of the attraction. Vegas is the only city where i can immediately become interested just from saying the name.
