Centro-matic farewell

A song I hadn't heard Will Johnson and his band play before...at St. Louis Off Broadway...part of Centro-matic's farewell tour. Gosh, I'm going to miss these guys.

a great gift

For the second year in a row Mark and I made a winter weekend at the Lodge our Christmas gift to each other. We think it's a great gift. The stresses of the holidays are over and it's our time to get away to the lake and peace and tranquility of the Ozark hills. There's something nice about being holed up at the Lodge on a cold winter day and we kind of like the fact it’s nearly empty in January. The Lodge of the Four Seasons is a cool place with a 70s feel to it. Its accommodations are a bit outdated but that seems to be part of its charm. Whether we stay inside the whole weekend or venture outdoors Mark and I simply like being there, so much so that we’re planning to make it our Christmas gift to each other every year.
