I’ve never been to the CD get-together Diva Las Vegas before but this year I’m finally doing it. I’m planning to get dressed tomorrow morning in a more casual manner than normal and hit the road as early as I can to make good time across the desert and get to Las Vegas sometime in the afternoon. I’ll probably only stay a couple days but it’ll be nice to take a little break and hang out in sin city. Unfortunately a couple of the Denver friends whom I thought might be there can’t make it after all and – a big shock – one of the girls from the Gender Identity Center in Denver, Mardi, passed away a few weeks ago. I was really hoping to see her again, as she was a regular at DLV, and was the kind of person who was always upbeat and accepting of others; I never heard her say anything bad about anyone. I’m just thankful now that I was able to say goodbye to her before moving away from Denver. Dang, you never know when you’re really saying goodbye…

Not to end on a downer note, but it should be a fun time in Vegas and then it’ll be back to L.A. in a few days and back to work. No rest for the wicked. Oh, wait, I’ll be in Vegas, guess there is some rest…
