Life is a Cabaret

Over the top glitz.


Money sucking leaches.


Skimpily clad is business as usual.


Botox, Eye Lashes, Face Paint and other body shaping and altering ideas are par for the course.


Smoke wherever - doobie included.


Stoned, hazed, loud, rowdy, glazed is a constant state of mind.




Las Vegas! 


Many properties owned by Jewish multi billionaires and sometimes by Trump.  Food so so regardless of their stars and reviews.  Did I mention over priced?




Spent a work week in LV, trying to stay cool and productive during the beyond hot and dry summer day time while stepping out for the evening frivolities and strolls when the desert wind kicked in.




The Greenbacks hanging out with their money
Loud and in your face interior decor is de rigeur to fill the larger than large spaces decorated with red and velvet carpets amidst a sea of marble tiles and silk drapes and chandeliers.  Mosaic artwork along walls including some paintings chosen by the decorator further adorned the walls not already occupied by Chanel, Hermes and Loubouton.




Massive amount of air is cooled and streamed through hallways and passages that curve and confuse and always try to lead you to a slot nachine or a baccarrat or roulette table as you pass befuddled to your intended destination.  Where was I going again?




Caught a razzle dazzle show one night called the 'Show Stoppers' that comprised a sort of medley of famous broadway musicals.  Orchestra was more like a big band with lot of shiny brass and the dancers did not disappoint.  In terms of the metal on them.




Some females could hold their octaves and sang real well, all had to be skinny and close to 70 pounds so as to be lifted by the male counterpart during many a routine.



Ask the purple velvet coats for directions and opening hours and you got five answers depending on which hallway you found a guy to ask.  That I thought was sloppy but I suppose they did not expect a
sober couple to ask them anything.

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...
