Con Err
By Michelle DiPoala on May 7, 2010 | In Las Vegas, Travel
Easter Sunday, April 4th. Joe had gone to his sister's place for dinner, and I was packing for my flight to Las Vegas later that day. Not an easy pack -- a multi-purpose trip, not to mention really long -- so it would take a good while to figure out exactly what to bring. I flipped around cable until I found a movie that could play in the background while I sorted through every article of clothing I own. I didn't even think about it until the scene where Cameron Poe makes Swamp Thing crash the hijacked plane into the Hard Rock Hotel, but there I was, watching Con Air, while getting ready to go stay in the Hard Rock Hotel for two weeks.
Beer and Floating in Cherry Hill

Forgive the badly-barely-punned title, it's too nice a day and too gloriously lazy to come up with anything clever!
I'm poolside at Joe's parents' place in New Jersey, it's a gorgeous afternoon. And this is the actual "first taste of summer" we've yet had.
We Wish You A Bleary Christmas and a Crappy New Year

As I happily wrap presents, tie sparkly ribbon into floppy bows and make decorations from faux greens and baubles from the Dollar Store, I notice that there seems to be a lot of humbugging going on among my friends and acquaintances this year.
