Clevermom visits Vegas

As I blog, my mom is flying back to Michigan. She was in town for a week. We did all sorts of fun Vegas things together—we ate lunch at Town Square, ate lunch at Wynn, ate lunch at Souper Salad. Okay, mostly we ate lunch together. On Thursday, we tried to go swimming at the glorious Trump pool…but you can see how that worked out. Closed for the day; some kid threw up in it.

Butterflies, cocktail napkins and women

If you hang out at Boomers long enough, you’re going to meet some interesting characters. I’ve hung out at Boomers long enough. Two of the most colorful guys I’ve met are Brian Campbell and Chris Randall. Brian is a comedy stage hypnotist who’s been on The Tyra Banks Show; Chris is a magician who’s worked on Mindfreak. Brian and Chris have something in common: They both put out DVDs that teach men how to pick up women. Sort of; I ... Read more...
