A good friend of mine called the other day and wanted my advice on a Las Vegas trip that he and his wife were planning. He wanted to know which property I would choose between Paris or Ballys. Those two hotels are part of the TotalRewards properties, which I am a big fan of, so this was right in my wheelhouse. The two…

FLORIDA LOSS WAS TOUGH ON THIS UK FAN
It has been a tough week for UK fans after losing a heartbreaker against the Gators in Kroger Field. My schedule has kept me too busy to blog since then, but it has taken me until the next game to pull me out of the doldrums. There isn't too much to say that hasn't already been said about last Saturday so…
TIRED OF THE STREAK
It is early in the morning on Saturday, September 23rd and I can't sleep anymore.

The truth is, while it going to be a long day for me today, I could use the sleep but…

SERVING UP SOME LINKS
Cats Win Opener It was the first full Saturday of the college football season, and the comfort of my recliner made me forget about the wet weather outside. The Cats had a rare opener on the road, which was fine by me, given the dismal conditions. It certainly wasn't the prettiest of games to watch. UK went on to win, despite an early turnover,…
PREDICTION TIME: WILDCATS IN HATTIESBURG
Let's Talk About The Weather The kickoff to the UK Football season is now just two days away and that means predictions. When I think of predictions, I think of either weather predictions, game result predictions or Nostradamus predictions. I don't think there is any interpretation of Nostradamus' writings that gave the final score for the Kentucky Football game at Southern…
WHEN STORMS IMPACT YOUR SPORTS TRAVEL PLANS
Storms Impact Travel In Many Ways This is a topic where I can relate to both sides. With 30 years in the travel industry, I've had my share of reaccomodating airline passengers when storms force cancellations of flights. These same weather events can also postpone or even cancel games. I have also experienced the other side, like the time we spent our…
