Viva Las Vegas II



Flew to Vegas April 20 on WestJet for a quick 4-day, 3-night package. For the second year in a row, it was the perfect getaway. Stayed at the Hilton once again, right on the Las Vegas Monorail (my favourite mode of transport). Richard and I walked the strip and saw all the hotels, went shopping one morning, had an amazing dinner at Joe's Seafood & Steakhouse (delicious) in the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace (beautiful) and saw Cirque du Soleil "Mystere" at Treasure Island (ti).

We got to meet up both with my Uncle Wes and Aunt Marcella AND with my parents whose trips coincided with ours. Here we all are at the Freemont Experience - the lightshow in old Vegas.

Addicted to Sopranos Season 6

Okay, I never gave this show the time of day for the first 5 seasons but now I am hooked on The Sopranos Season 6. They had a catch up weekend and showed the first 4 episodes back-to-back on Saturday and then the 5th episode on Sunday night. It is so well done. Forget the violence, it is a total psychodrama. I must see all the episodes this year.

I've seen 3 episodes of Huff season 2 and it's okay ("a-ight"). It seems to be missing some soul. But Tony Soprano has got soul and self-discovery in spades.

Or maybe I'm just watching too much TV.

I admit I'm hooked
Sopranos on TMN
Tony - what a guy

See you in September!

I received the letter from the SJR Alumni Office this week. We finally got it out! Don't recognize some of the names of the missing - are they sure they're part of our class? Still, looking forward to seeing people in Winnipeg this summer.

Another STAR SIGHTING: Saw Dustin Hoffman outside the Indigo at Bloor and Bay last Thursday. He was smiling so I knew it was him (didn't talk to him, though - did wonder if he thought Indigo was better than Borders in the US.)

Maybe I'll hit a movie this weekend. The premiere of Huff on Monday night was aight but depressing.
