    Yeah, if you did it at 4 a.m., that might work. Otherwise, you'd be dead meat.

    One of the coolest drives ever was going down the strip with the top down (on the car, not my date) at about 2 a.m. Still hot, but all the lights made it great.

    Just in case some of you misinterpreted things, there's not really going to be a 5K race. I will bring my bike and hope Ragu joins me on a ride up to the foothills on Bonanza, but I'm not foolish enough to try and get more than one sportwriter to wake up at 8 a.m. in Las Vegas to go for strenuous physical activity.

    Although, I will say the last time I was in Vegas, two years ago, I took a walk to the McD across the street from the Mirage for some McGriddles at 7 a.m. and there was a surprisingly large number of runners going up and down the strip.

    Better to cut off the strip and run through the UNLV campus.

    Ides, I didn't know Mickey D's served all-you-can-eat McGriddles! but can you play Keno at your table, too?

    Heck, I was just surprised to see more than myself and cleaning crews up and about at 7 a.m.

    The McGriddles were a lot cheaper than hitting the breakfast buffet at the Mirage where we were staying. Uma had a CME conference at the Venetian that started a 8 a.m. and I was dispatched to get her fed. That was, BTW, the worst weekend trip with the wife I've ever had.

    I hope you didn't make the mile high club in that 14-passenger plane you recently flew in?! :)

    Even if you did, HC, we can still find a way to marry you off that weekend. I can do double bridesmaid duties!

    We could do a double-Britney Spears wedding, HC, quickly followed by two Britney Spears-style annulments :D

    So would you have to be married 52 hours or 104 hours? :D

    Further research will be needed, I think. But the shorter the better in my book.
