Just returned from an excellent convention in St. Louis. Kudos to the Parks Department for a beautiful downtown. Keiner Park and the City Gardens are something to be proud of!

We also thoroughly enjoyed our “Taste of St. Louis” evening. Great food samplings. Loved the Schlafly Oktoberfest beer. The music on the Blues stage, and the Main Stage on Friday night was excellent!

If you enjoy blues, we had two excellent evenings at BB’s Blues, Jazz and Soup, and Beale on Broadway.

Looking forward to a return visit soon. Cheers!

A dear friend just sent me a description of this area and an invitation to visit. It sounds absolutely beautiful. I am looking forward to the trip hopefully this fall …

Due to a mix up in flight schedules (my fault) we didn’t arrive in Los Angeles until mid afternoon, and Venice Beach until quite late. Too late to get in any BBall, unfortunately.

We did dip our toes in the ocean (cold), did a few chin ups and rope climbs (well, the boys did) at Muscle Beach, strolled down the walkway checking out the vendors, and listened to musical artists hawking their CD’s. Original approach to selling music, entertaining and fun. One gentleman on roller skates had an amp strapped to his body and played a pretty mean guitar. Sounded a bit like Buddy Guy.
