I haven't posted anything here in such a long time, I just wanted to test to see if this quick message posted ok.

Sadly, the news from Las Vegas this morning is that magician Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy suffered a stroke following the tiger attack on him. As a result, Siegfried has come out and stated that their magic show, a staple on the Las Vegas Strip for years, will not reopen. He is due to be interviewed on NBC's Today Show this morning regarding the whole situation.

As everyone is no doubt aware, Roy of the magic duo Siegfried and Roy was attacked by a white tiger in one of their shows last week at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Its good to hear, at least from what I hear on the local news here in Cleveland, Ohio, that Roy has been upgraded to serious from critical condition and has shown some movement in his arms and legs. Unfortunately, I am hearing more and

Ever go to a movie and after it was over you weren't sure whether you liked it or not? Well, that's how I felt about Lost in Translation starring Bill Murray. It is billed as a comedy, but it is a dark comedy at best. There are no huge belly laughs here. It's more a study of an aging movie star (Bill Murray) who goes to Japan to be the centerpiece of a whiskey ad campaign. He has his troubles

Since Apple is giving away blogging software "iblog" for free for .mac subscribers through the end of November, I downloaded it and have been playing around with it. For right now I am going to keep this blog going here at blogspot.com, but I am tempted to start a new blog using my .mac account depending on how my experiments with iblog work out. I'll keep you posted (as if you care--haha).

I just spoke with a magician friend of mine who happened to be in Las Vegas the same week as I was with my wife. While he was there, he saw the third Cirque du Soleil show, Zumanity, at New York, New York. Zumanity is a departure for Cirque du Soleil. It is not a family oriented show. It is strictly for the adults in the family. Well, to make a long story short, my friend has seen all three

Last time the wife and I were in Las Vegas a couple of years ago, several people recommended that we attend one of the Cirque du Soleil shows, of which there were two at that time--Mystere at Treasure Island and "O" at The Bellagio. The general consensus on which show to see if we had a choice was "O", because its stage was basically a giant pool of water, and there was nothing else like it

Last week the wife and I vacationed in Las Vegas. We had a great time--saw some terrific shows got some sun, and as might be expected, we dropped a few bucks to help keep the city's economy rolling along. Both before and after we were in Las Vegas, almost everyone that we told about our trip had a recollection for me about how they won money when they were in Las Vegas. Are all these people

I received a 30 gig iPod (Apple Computer's popular mp3 player that holds up to 7500 tunes) from my wife's side of the family in June for my 50th birthday. It was (notice I said "was" not "is") their top of the line model. Now on Monday of this week, Apple Computer announced updates to their line of iPods. Wouldn't you know it--the 30 gig iPod was updated to 40 gig just three months after I got

Well, I decided to jump on the weblogging bandwagon upon discovering this free service called Blogger. So I guess with this first post I am now officially a "blogger" myself. I bet you just can't wait to see what I will post next.
