Winding Down







2 weeks before departure. It's going fast! We're cramming in things now to do before we leave. Saw Chicago in concert here at the Phil. It was a fabulous sold out one night performance. I heard one person say as we were leaving, "That's the liveliest audience I've ever seen at the Phil." You have to understand there's a lot of opera & symphony there, which has a tendency to be a lot of white -haired people. What am I saying? Okay, this audience was a lot of gray -haired people (same as the original members of Chicago). Lots younger. Well, we think we are anyway...



We served our dry aged beef to guests last night for the first time. We've only experimented on ourselves up until now. Success! We think they thoroughly enjoyed it. We already have another batch started since Tiffany & Chris are coming down for a few days and requested the very same. It's so easy to do everybody, no fuss, no mess, and very inexpensive compared to dry aged store prices (Whole Foods price currently $21.99 a lb - crazy!)



It's definitely getting quieter here which is nice after the madness of peak season. My walk to the beach this morning was peaceful. More alligator trivia - I went to the north side today (I switch between the north & south end)and there's a fence up by the water there too. Saw nothing but asked a security person why. Yup, it's another mommy alligator & babies. This one was around last year, just has moved away from the original location. Too much tram & human traffic I think...



Mark has made The Call to our homewatch guy in Colorado. Schedule the water, etc startup for Star Mountain! Hurray - can't believe the time is so close now. He told Mark that the mountains have pink snow on the peaks (as they did last year). It's red desert sand blowing over from Utah. Friendly state to state contact...
