    3.  Where is the next place you will be taking a trip? Vegas in 3 weeks!  

    4.  How many hours' sleep do you need in order to be at your best, and what's the minimum you can get on a regular basis and still be functional? 8-9, I require a TON of sleep.  I could probably get away with 6 but that would be pushing it!
