So, this past week marked the ending of an era, and I feel foolish that I let it slip by without proper acknowledgment. But better late than never. After 5 long years, Celine Dion took her bows in Las Vegas as her show A New Day ended its run at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace.
Now some may find this incredibly odd (with the exception of my friend, Julia), but I have a surprising appreciation for Celine Dion. Yes, she's got some quirk in her, she's married to a geriatric, and has absolutely no idea how to dress herself properly for the red carpet, but the woman's got pipes. There's just no arguing that.
Anyway, somewhere along the line I promised myself that I'd make it to Vegas to see her show, but apparently I lost track of time, so I never made it. However, rumor has it that she's coming to Seattle next year, and I can guarantee that I'm taking myself (and dragging SJY) down to the Key Arena so I can weep in person as she sings It's All Comin' Back to me Now at the top of her lungs (and you KNOW she will).
So, peace out, Celine. See ya next year.

So first of all, that dress in the picture you have chosen is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
Second, I adore Celine. It takes me about negative .35 seconds to start to cry when "My Heart Will Go On" comes on... and guess what song is NUMBER ONE (therefore the most played) out of all my workout songs? That's right... "THAT'S the way it is..." Oh my word I can run for miles with that.
Anyways, what I really wanted to say is that the other day I was listening to NPR like a good Seattlite, and there was an interview with a guy who wrote a whole book about how he USED to hate Celine Dion with a passion, and after immersing himself in her music and interviewing hundreds of people who love her, he now respects her.
It was a moving interview and I wanted to cheer afterwards.
Thought you might be interested.
