Here’s the plan for the coming weekend:
1. Make it a long one.
2. Friday afternoon, fly to Vegas with Alex, spend the night there.
3. Call my parents, feign intoxication, report that I’m in Vegas with Alex, we’re in line for an Elvis impersonator, oh, it’s our turn! hang up quickly, not answer calls for rest of trip.
4. Drive west, towards Grand Canyon, have adventures, see pretty rocks, eat a bacon cheeseburger.
5. On Wednesday, return to Vegas, return to Seattle, make a renewed attempt to be a good vegetarian, show off pictures of pretty rocks.
