My girlfriend is unable to go to our spa in Utah this month after all, but I absolutely am going alone, as I did a few years ago.

I’m very much looking forward to as many massages, facials and workouts as I can cram into four days. And some spiritual work, as well, including some time with a Native American shaman I met last time I was there.

It’s been one change after another for a couple years now, and it’s taken its toll in large and small ways. A few days of utter relaxation are in order.

Not to mention the fun two days M. and I are are spending in Vegas first: starting tomorrow.

I LOVE red rocks spas… and you know what? I love Las Vegas, too. In a no-pretense, take-it-for-what-it-is way.
