…..A bride without a head! …..A wolf without a foot!
magnificent charles is leaving tonight for vegas.
upon learning that he was heading off on a longish business trip, as per usual, the man did ask if i wanted to accompany him. a quick check on trip advisor confirmed that the hotel he is staying at is quite divine. hmm…the stakes were raised.
and, there was a seat sale.
GETTING TEMPTING!
however, i said no.
why? or pourquoi as some of you bilingual folk might query?
1) GAIL gets married this friday. i am not missing this!
2) i am starting to decorate the church with denby tomorrow.
3) i can't be away for 10 days, not right now!
4) i have other holidays planned
5) i have a half marathon hike planned for friday next. (don't get excited, nothing overly serious).
so, there we be. i did however, google "live shows in vegas" and encourage young charles to see CHER in concert. he was quite rude in his response.i don't understand this. moonstruck is one of our favourite movies!
another friend suggested barry manilow. to this, charles was even ruder, "he's had so much plastic surgery i would sit there all night not recognising him and wondering why the opening act was so long." so he is not a fanilow! (i don't know if i knew this when i married him).
other people suggested cirque du soleil. probably not. we have seen them a couple of times. when i was working with the hong kong standard and CDS was opening up SALTIMBANCO in hk, i interviewed Guy Laliberte, founder of CDS and a few of the performers. Interestingly, they were all very shy, despite their flamboyant "on-spotlight" personalities.
so what is MC going to do in vegas? christmas just ended…i can't give him a shopping list THAT long to keep him busy!
to help in the forgiveness of my non-blogging i suggested he contact JoeInVegas. THAT suggestion was not met with approval. "No. He will think I'm the reason you didn't blog."
I think will buy him Celine Dion tickets. I mean, he bought me front seat tickets all those years ago…shouldn't we even the score! Aint love grand?
I started with one of my fave MOONSTRUCK quotes, so i will end with another…
Rose: Do you love him, Loretta?
Loretta Castorini: Aw, ma, I love him awful.
Rose: Oh, God, that's too bad.
See you in 10 days, MC.
