Where the beautiful people live

July 29, 2009 • 6:51 p.m.

Over the weekend, I went to a church dinner with my husband’s family. They live on the other side of the valley, in Las Vegas. At our table were a couple of people I did not know. My husband, who spent his teenage years in Las Vegas, seemed to know them. The woman asked where we live. “Out in Henderson,” my husband said. “Oh....Henderson,” the woman answered. “That’s where all the beautiful people live.”
