Drawing a senior citizen big-time blank

This is to let the thousands who are awaiting the commencement of Vegas Vic's blog, know that Vegas Vic is not permanent. Vegas Vic smokes, and that is one vice that I really did want when I was ten or eleven. I used to watch my dad inhale, and secretly wished I could smoke like he did...But after John Peterson and I had smoked everything we could find from toilet paper to coffee, I decided that only the real thing would really suffice. Many times I swiped one of my dad's Winston butts and tried to inhale. It hurt so bad that I decided to just play like I was smoking. One day Dad was suspicious of what I was doing, and he set a trap for me that I fell very hard for. He laid out a beautiful three inch butt that was the best I had ever seen him leave. I snatched it up, and I was in my bed behind a closed door practicing when Dad walked in and caught me red-handed. I got the never smoke lecture, and that pretty much took care of my desire to be a professional inhaler of that weed that keeps one from passing the sacrament, going on a mission, marrying in the temple, and etc. etc. Any way after Youth Conference ends, and I once again have a life I can enjoy; I will come up with a different blog logo. Until then, Vegas Vic will do.

Last week, I had a short novel in my head to write, but it has left me for now, but will return when my head clears and my thoughts are of something besides roadshows, services projects, ordering hygiene kits, helping to decide if ice cream should be enjoyed after pizza at the roadshow cast party, and on, and on, and on, and on!

Catch you all later.

Son of Flicka... Excellent work and so far very enjoyable i might add. Keep up the good work and feel free to include some nudes of yourself after you get out of the shower. That was a request from Rebecca Anthony. Got to go to work.

Jayne, Son of Flicka can not tell all his secrets. Son of Flicka will reveal whole truths in time. We must not be so quick to praise, for this is not wise.

Jill, you're sounding like Yoda.
