A sad note: my grandmother passed away yesterday or today, depending on the time zone, surrounded by her children who had come home to care for her. She was 90. She had been in the hospital for the last few weeks, and had recovered enough to get transferred home, where she soon passed on. She is loved, and will be missed.

Leaving tonight. Packed last night. Went looking for a nice summer blazer last night, couldn't find one I liked. Maybe I'll pick one up someday, maybe not. We'll see. Coincidentally, the Simply Wine episode on last night was about Vegas. Sweet. And featured Aureole! And really expensive bottles of wine! Right. I like high class, but not that high class. Some plans for the weekend: brunch at some buffet, gondola ride at the Venetian, dinner at Aureole, watching "O", maybe doing a little shopping, maybe doing a little gambling. Hopefully it won't be oppresively hot out, nor will it rain or something.
