A Taste of the "Old Normal" in Las Vegas
Our long weekend in Las Vegas was so perfect. I don't even know how to begin to describe what it did for me mentally and emotionally. It was like getting a little slice of my pre-cancer life back.. except that I didn't have to go home alone after seeing Ryan on the road because we went together! So in that way it was even better! We arrived Saturday evening and ran smack into friend/tour manager Dan in the lobby of the Westin. He gave me a "Daaaaaamn..." kinda thing - clearly I look better than the last time any of these guys saw me. We did some wandering around. Found dinner. Yadda yadda. Stopped at a liquor store on the way back to the hotel, picked up a bottle of Maker's Mark, and invited our friend Matt, who arrived shortly after we did, back to have some drinks in the room. Matt is friggin' hilarious and I always enjoy listening to his stories. Even the ones I've already heard. More than once. I LOVE The Flam...
