I’m leaving town! 

I had just about recovered from the hullabaloo caused by my analysis of the unclad and un-classy at the Hard Rock Rehab pool party when I came across a news release from the downtown Vegas Club casino: 

[We are introducing] a new, low-limit “Fetish Pit,” where your dealer will be dressed as a naughty nurse, sexy school girl, risqué female cop or leather-clad biker chick while pole dancing go-go girls shake their money-makers [their words, not mine] on a raised platform. The sexy fun begins at 7 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. 

Seriously, I need a break from “Sin City”!!   And I am getting one when Brad and I leave tomorrow for Columbus, GA for a visit to the Frugal Princess family home. I’m sure there is a lot of “sin” in Columbus, as there is in any city, but it isn’t in your face 24/7. 

Maybe I’ll blog while I’m gone, but maybe I won’t have time. So much wholesome fun to do with Angela and Steve and the kids. We’ll watch Zachary chop/chop at the karate studio where he works, takes advanced black belt lessons, and practices with the demo team. We will watch his tumbling lessons at the gymnastics studio and then just maybe join him on the trampoline in the back yard – if he will let us. He is very protective of the old bones of his Poppy Brad and Grandma Jean. 

We probably won’t get up soon enough to take Kaitlynn to her early-morning cross-country runs with the school team, and no soccer games are scheduled - but she is ready for a rest after two intense soccer camps this summer. So she is looking for me to give her some cooking lessons. (Don’t laugh – everyone knows I don’t cook in Vegas, but I was actually a pretty good cook before I discovered casino comps 25 years ago!) 

We are also looking forward to family swims in their backyard pool and impromptu parties with their teenage friends when they drop by. Zachary has a girlfriend now but both sets of parents are big on chaperoned dates right now, so Brad and I can take on “guard duty” sometimes. And there can never be a dull moment because a wii competition always beckons.

Talk to you when we get back -  if not before!
