It’s one of my favorite weekends of the year… CES in Las Vegas!<\/p>\n
Since… 2003 or 2004… Or maybe earlier… We’ve come yearly. It’s a boys only weekend, and the days of Luka and Theo coming are fast approaching. My only hope is that we get all three generations here together. <\/p>\n
It’s my dad, Aydin, and I. The three amigos. One night is a steak dinner. The next is a show. It’s been an awesome way to say connected even though we’re thousands of miles apart. <\/p>\n
The big items this year seem to be health, cars, drones, and virtual reality. <\/p>\n
I’ll let you know tomorrow how many thousands of steps we take walking around, and what all the cool gadgets were. <\/p>\n
Oh, and how much money I win at the Craps table \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
