We took a six-day five-night trip to Las Vegas. Here’s what we did, at least most of it.

Monday 3/27

We drove to Vegas. On the way, we saw the world’s tallest thermometer and a general store with over a thousand types of soda. That was in Baker. Once in Vegas, we checked in at the Wyndham Grand Desert. We unpacked and chilled a bit, then had a great dinner at Modern Vegan. Afterwards we went to the Tropicana Casino to check out the place and whether it was a good parking option for the show tomorrow night. [continued]

Millions of people fell in love with Diane Keaton when they watched the iconic film “Annie Hall”. I was one of them. Of course, there was much more to Woody Allen’s award-winning film than just Diane, but she really did steal the show. She also acted in The Godfather films, as well as many more films. This book is sort of her memoir, at least in part it is. We do learn about her life and what she is like, told in her own (writing) voice. [continued]

We stayed a few nights in nearby San Diego so we could attend the Wonderfront Music Festival. Since we had moved down south, it was close and relatively easy. It’s a three day music festival, held right on the San Diego waterfront with multiple (eight) stages and attractions. This was our first time attending (and only the second time it has been held), but we will most likely be going again in 2023. Anyway, there’s what we did there in 2022.

It’s not Tuesday? So what. It’s still a terrific tune by one of my favorite artists. He’s a fantastic songwriter and I love this song. There’s no real video, just a picture. But listen anyway!

As you wish. Inconceivable. My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die. I do not think that word means what you think it means. Only mostly dead. Storming the castle. ROUS’s. True love. Grandpa, maybe you could come over and read it again to me tomorrow. (Continued…)

The Book I Read: The Beatles By Hunter Davies

This is the official one. The Beatles by Hunter Davies is the only authorized biography of the group. It was originally written back in 1968, but this is the updated edition. What that means is this: the full original 1968 book is included but also much more. At the end is a chapter from 1985 which updates where each Beatle is at in their lives. But even better, the first, lengthy chapter is a more recent writing from 2006 which updates the history quite a lot. So, the book is historical but also more timely. (continued…)

The Book I Read: “Memoirs Of A Mangy Lover” By Groucho Marx

I was a teenager when I first discovered the Marx brothers. I was channel surfing through the handful of channels at the time, and came across heir movie “Horsefeathers”. I had never seen anything like it. I was hooked. I laughed out loud at Groucho’s lines and ever since I have marveled at his greatness in their movies. So, when I found this book cheap at a used bookstore I snagged it. He wrote it so it had to be good, right? (continued)…
