six nights in venice: andiamo!

If you click HERE by midnight tonight, you’ll see a sweeps to Detroit to attend WrestleMania23 (I guess we missed the first 22) and also receive tickets to this year’s WWE (World Weight Entertainment) Hall of Fame inductions on March 31 and, rather fittingly, a Bagel, Biceps and Brunch on April Fool’s Day. I kid you not. The number and scope of subcultures out there never ceases to amaze me. And no, I did not enter. I only enter sweeps I want to win.

Today’s sweeps is sponsored by Woman’s Day. I won’t bore you with the trauma that innocent looking magazine inflicted upon me as a child. (Okay, here's the short version: One too many tragic stories tucked between innocent articles about easy dinners and practical kitchen makeovers. I’ve never been good with surprises.) It’s for a six-night stay at Duodo Palace, a 38-room former palazzo in Venice. I’ve had Italy on the brain ever since I watched Ennio Morricone receive his Lifetime Achievement Award at the Oscars on Sunday, with Clint Eastwood translating impeccably into English. The rooms at the Duodo Place look gorgeous. Plus, the Italian language makes me go weak in the knees. This is from a French major. Andiamo!

To enter, click HERE. The deadline is March 1 – don’t dally!
