Let’s Go, Let’s Go, Let’s Go!

“
You do realize that you’ll have to shave
regularly?”
I admit that my Rana’s declaration caught me
by surprise. But although this publisher is now used to “more than a
few days” stubble on his face, those days are over. I will be purchasing
more razor blades in the near-future.
It’s been over one year; a
full 365 + days since the
world has changed. Now
with vaccinations increasing
and the COVID positivity rate
decreasing, it’s time to live
again.
Now, I’m not complaining
– far from it. My Ladylove
and I have cooped up (at
least, I have - as for Rana
being stuck with me…) quite
well in being sequestered,
and we are very aware that it
could have been much, much
worse.
As a “triple-threat”
(over 70, diabetic and with
underlying health issues)
Rana was a prime candidate to be a victim of the coronavirus. And yes,
I whispered a prayer (or two) of thanks.
With that said, and as much “joy” it was to be locked in the house
with Rana, I want out… and want out now.
No more Judge Judy or Dateline marathon reruns. Our future
weekends will not be debating what movies to catch on Netflix.
No siree, put a fork in me - I’m done. I have no shame competing
with Rana’s dogs in boasting we’ve “had our shots.” Feet don’t fail me
now!
Rana and I will be heading to shows, events and (so long as she gets
the dog sitter) vacation destinations – be it near or far. In three words
– We’re outta here.
We’ll begin our “new normal lives” with travel editor Stu and wife
Sharon this month heading to Arizona and the Grand Canyon. I don’t
want to say that I’ve been climbing the walls but I’m even looking
forward to being with him again.
And for shameless plugs, our entertainment editor, Evan Davis
is “chomping at the bit” to get those great comedians, singers and
performers back on stage (See pages 11 and 13). For me it’s a perfect
storm - great shows, no hassle driving or parking fees and, best of all
– home by 10 pm.
As for travel plans, I made it very clear to Rana that with whatever
years we have left, and so long as we can physically go – we’re going.
I for one, will not spend my final moments on this earth reflecting, “I
should have gone to…”
With Stu & Sharon. Let’s Go, Let’s Go, Let’s Go!
I’ll admit that shaving everyday (or perhaps every other) will take
some adjustment but seeing live shows, visiting various places and
meeting new people (and old friends) will make it all worthwhile.
Goodbye Judge Judy. Let’s go, let’s go let’s go!
*Another Shameless Request for Help
For regular readers, what I am about to tell you is not new. For casual
readers however, let me admit, once again, my shortcoming – I am
dazed, confused and lost in the internet world.
Yes, I can use email but
all the other “stuff” – like
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
(etc., etc.) I avoid like the
plague. And that includes our
newest venture – YouTube.
To make a very long story
short and for reasons that
make no sense to me, I was
told that The Vegas Voice
needs to build up and expand
its “Subscribers.”
Our YouTube channel now
includes regular segments
from (among others) Sandi
Davis’ Women’s World, as
well as spouse Evan in his
Celebrity Corner interviews.
I’m exposing the latest senior
scams and my PILL (partner in love & life) will be publicly expressing
her thoughts and opinions (and you wonder why I’m so thrilled to get
out of the house) in her Rana’s Rants.
And for laugh out loud, my Bronx brother Bill Caserta leads the way
with his Bill Blurb’s. As the photo shows, if you smile over his column,
you’ll howl over his spots.
All you need you to do is visit: YouTube.com/c/VegasVoiceTV and
click the subscribe button. There is no charge to subscribe.
And if successful, I might even figure out how to get on Facebook!
With much thanks and appreciation.
