Auntie Mame Said it Best!


If you've never seen the movie "Auntie Mame" starring Rosalind Russell, I suggest you do. It is a wonderful farce about a freespirited woman and her efforts to raise her nephew in an openminded and adventurous way.

The most famous quote from the movie is "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!" It is often misquoted as "Life is a buffet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!" Banquet or buffet, the point is made, to enjoy the bounty while you can, i.e. eat, drink, and be merry.

Before I moved to Las Vegas, I visited frequently. I loved coming here, and escaping my dull existance back home. The gambling, the shows, the neon lights, the freeflowing booze and fabulous food . . . who could resist Sin City's charms?

It seems preposterous to propose a trip to Las Vegas to diet, and certainly I don't. After all Auntie Mame certainly did say it best . . . but that's not to say it can't be done.
I would advise losing weight before your trip to Sin City, to offset whatever you may gain. That's just one of the many tips I will cover as I blog on.
