This week has been a whirl wind tour. Six states in the last seven days. First we were off to Las Vegas a week ago for a family wedding. It was a very nice wedding at the little old west chapel on the southern end of The Strip. From there a quick trip to California, back through Nevada for a whirlwind visit with my parents and then Arizona, Utah and Colorado. Yesterday I left and came to Kansas for a business trip and to a friend's wedding. A more traditional church ceremony this time. I'll get some of the pictures posted tomorrow.

The weddings have been a wonderful time of seeing old friends and family as well as meeting new friends. It's a wonderful celebration of life and love and one of the most perfect celebrations of a person's life. Congratulations to all the newly weds and may your lives be filled with peace and joy.

Good morning from a cloudy Las Vegas. We flew in last night on Allegiant airlines. it is definitely the cattle car approach to flying. Pack as many people as humanly possible in a Boeing MD-82. It is however, a great service and it is great to be able to fly directly from Fort Collins again. It does remind me however, of a problem with airline seats and the 12-inch PowerBook. The problem is the back of the seat in front of you when reclined will catch the top edge of the computer and tends to compress the screen.

About.com has a good article about "countless charities" ignoring state solicitation laws. Quick test for webmasters - do you know what your state's laws say about soliciting charitable donations online? Many charitable organizations fail to follow the rules offline as well as online. I can't count the number of charities with collection jars at various small convenience stores. Only occasionally when I see them do they have the statements that are required by Colorado law. I would hazard a guess that many well-meaning boards of directors and corporate executives for charitable organizations don't know the laws exist.
