Romance, Observed

So, today is Valentine's Day. We actually executed our Valentine's Day customs and observances last weekend at Barona Valley Ranch Resort & Casino, which was very cool indeed. We go to Las Vegas a couple of times a year, and that's fun, but in a different way. The hotel rooms at Barona are about as nice as some of the places we've stayed in Las Vegas, and the casino floor is, well, a casino floor. But in Las Vegas, there's always something to do, which is usually what you want, but sometimes isn't. We had a really relaxing weekend, and didn't feel like we were missing out on anything by just lazing around the hotel room.

Dinner on Saturday was at the Barona Oaks Steakhouse, which was delicious. I got a new suit, which is actually an old suit, vintage from the 1960s, for the occasion. That turned out to be unnecessary, as "dinner attire" these days apparently includes jeans and a hoodie. But, hey, Becky and I both looked really good, and that was really the point of dressing up anyway. See more in the gallery.

A big Hell's yeah on the dressing up. Kate and I went to a nice restaurant in NYC (Sardi's of Muppets Take Manhattan Fame) and there were some real slovenly dressed folks there too. Looking good. Excellent ... um ... "tracts of land" (Kate is jealous). -Mark and Kate
