flog me at will, dear readers. I've been terrible at keeping up this little space. Once again I find myself composing a 'catch-up' piece such as the one below:
- enjoyed the just-past (passed?) Christmas season immensely. It was everything I hoped it would be. Our little corner of the world got snow on Christmas eve, just in time for a white Christmas just like the ones you used to know. Renee and her mom came to Christmas dinner at my house and there's no place I'd rather they'd have been. I think I caught a glimpse of my Christmas future on that day. Let's just leave it at that...
- one my (our) favorite Christmas gifts came from my bro/sis-in-law in the form of a gift card to Mosaic Modern Fusion restaurant. Mosaic serves up food tapas-style from a chic streetside space near 10th and Washington in downtown St. Louis. Last Saturday marked 6 months of dating for Renee and I so we celebrated by heading up there to celebrate. I particularly enjoyed the lobster bisque and petite beef tenderloin. Afterward, we caught Erin Bode in concert over at Joe Buck's Showroom. Erin and her trio served up a 90-minute set of songs from 3 of their 4 CDs. It was worth it just to see her pianist play a melodica on some of the tunes. A melodica!
- by the way, check out my new profile picture off to the right....was just taken last evening at a birthday party for our friend Courtney...
- looking forward to getting down to Florida with Renee at the end of March to take in a couple of Cardinals spring training games. I haven't been since I went with my dad way back in 1998. This is our our hope as we slog through these cold.and cloudy days of January
- Operation 'house exterior renovation project' finally is finished. The house looks wonderful and I'll get some pictures up in this space once I remember to take some on a nice sunny day soon!
