Let it be shouted throughout the land: henceforth and forevermore, the first Friday in November shall mark the start of Mike’s annual Vegas vacation. Erin’s optional participation shall be contingent upon her ability to secure an appropriate sucker – I mean, child care provider for our four kids. Also, no purses shall be purchased during said weekend, nor shoes, nor items featuring sequins, feathers or glitter of any kind, or items that have the word “yoga” anywhere in their title or description. Rooms shall be booked at The Wynn, which I find to be superior to The Encore, but spa days shall be booked at the Encore spa, which I find to be a better spa than that of the Wynn. There shall be no rolling of the eyes when I complain about lack of sleep while refusing to return to the room to actually sleep. All are welcome to join provided you don’t try to coax me into playing anything but craps or betting in the sports book. That is all.
