At the risk of riling people up again, I have chosen to go ahead and post pictures of my trip to Las Vegas and the few pictures I have of the failed Barry Manilow concert attempt. Let’s try to stay calm, and all be reasonable. These are only pictures and I am not trying to (ahem) ruin the amazing Barry Manilow’s illustrious career, nor am I determined to bring down the sales of his upcoming album, 15 Minutes (debuting on QVC, by the way). Oh, contraire, mon frere, I plan to actually BUY the album, eventually, unless He would like to send me a free one as a gesture of goodwill and heartfelt sympathy for my Barry-free state (hint, hint, Barry, Marc!)

There would have been more of Barry, but, well, you know….

This is Leslie, a very good friend we visited with on Sunday:) Hi Terry! Hi Ann! Hi kids! Hi Corey!:)
Looks like a nice trip in spite of the disappointment. I hope your birthday was a happy one! I wonder if the above performer was angry and worried at not being able to sing (sign of diminishing general health and advancing age) and left in frustration. I know the feeling. Not an excuse but maybe a reason. Yes, I empathize with you. It feels like a punch in the stomach to be so disappointed and not adequately apologized to. I hope you get another chance to see him someday.
Nice pictures, Maren! It looks like you were able to have some fun, despite the cancellation. Hopefully, you’ll be able to go back and see Barry for a full show. Great pictures!

Hi Dawn, Thanks:)
Hoover Dam is my favorite place to visit! Thanks for including the pic. I love it because of its history. Married to a construction guy it’s amazing what you learn to love. 🙂
What a lovely, normal comment you made:) Thanks, Lorretta!:)
