Tonight I pose a riddle: What is better than enjoying an evening with your gregarious aunt, your handsome boyfriend, good food, lots of laughs and three glasses of wine? The answer (at least the answer in my book): Nothing. Fabulous evening - visiting with my incorrigible Aunt Gen - that I won't soon forget. Life [...]
The womenfolk…
Today I was able to steal away with the womenfolk of Mike's family (his mother and his sister) for lunch. It was a lovely opportunity to learn more about Barbara and Michele individually and the family collectively. I wish we would have had more time. I would love to be able to have lunch with [...]

Apparently, there are still some folks out there who are glossing over the reports [...]
My poker face…
After my gal pals and I went to the Chippendales show in Vegas this past week, we went to the Chippendales Boutique to buy some souvenirs (they wouldn't allow us to take any of the dancers home with us as a souvenir - they have rules against that). I purchased a number of items at the boutique [...]
