We were literally waiting for the cabin doors to be closed on our flight to Vegas when we got a call from Zero-G with some bad news; this weekend's flight had been cancelled at the last minute.
Apparently, they'd done some modifications to the plane related to a NASA contract, but the needed FAA paperwork had not been completed in time, so they couldn't fly.
A seriously bummed Team Mad Overlord arrived in Las Vegas Thursday night, checked in (to room 321!) and went into bigtime logistical reconfiguration mode. We finally determined that we could reshuffle work and school obligations sufficiently to permit us to extend our vacation through next weekend, allowing us to fly the next scheduled Zero-G flight in LA. So we're going to run around the southwest visiting places like the Grand Canyon and Meteor Crater.
Meanwhile, we're doing Vegas'y things, like taking in the excellent Penn&Teller show and a little indoor skydiving...

In one of the great ironies of modern entertainment, Teller, the guy who never speaks onstage, actually has a much better voice than Penn -- probably because he never wears it out on stage...
