I
saw Traffic twice in the last week. First a matinee on the Magnificent
Mile in Chicago, the second a 12:40 am show on the LV Strip. Both
viewings were fantastic.

All
right.
I unlocked the secret lock on my mouth and I can blog again. Lemme
explain. Last week I was in Vegas on a MUCH needed vacation. Part
of the plan was to surprise my aunt and uncle who were also going
to be out there. Well, I could tell my friends but not my family.
I didn't want to blog and blab the surprise. I got to Vegas, checked
into the San Remo (where aforementioned relatives were staying).
I sat in my room wonder, "What on earth have a gotten myself into?
I don't know if I'll find them. I have no plans for 4 days. I'll
go crazy." I went down to the casino, and within 3 minutes of
stepping off the elevator I spotted Aunt Nancy (better known as
Anny Nanny) and Uncle Mike at neighboring slots. I landed my ass
right next to Nanny and stared at her until he looked over at
me. She was surprised all right!!
I
had a good vacation - albeit too short. I think I did a little
too much walking and not enough eating to make it a proper vacation.
But I had several firsts: Saw Tom Jones in concert, saw the desert,
went to my first wax museum. The latter was so friggin' cool.
Way cooler than I expected.
More
soon...

Today
at Borders, I spied a book called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to
Affair-Proof Love." What the Fuck? It's sad that this book has a
market and what on earth would be the suggestions? I mentioned to
my friend Jim who reflexively scoffed and said, "Respect and attention!"
I replied, "Hey, that fits on a postcard." I'm all for strong, intimate
relationships, but to cloak it in the context of "affair-proofing"
is very icky. Sorry, that's the only appropriate word coming to
mind - just...icky.
