	The Liberace Museum - Mark, thanks for reminding me. Maybe I'll skip
the "Page Faults And You" talk and pay a visit. I'll bet there are some fine
Liberace souvenir items available there. But first, I'll go have breakfast at
the "all you can eat" $1.99 Circus Circus buffet. "Oh Mike, didn't that man spitin the eggs?" An experience not to be missed.
