I have to get one of these


I saw a guy flying around a lake in this plane a few days ago and it looked like so much fun.  He then landed it on the lake and then took off again.  Seriously one of the coolest looking hobbies i have ever seen.  After he landed again, he floated over to the launch ramp and pulled it out of the water onto a trailer and drove it home just like it was a boat.  He had to fold up the wings for transporting it home.  I have got to talk my wife into one of these.

"Geronimos" Santa Fe New Mexico




So I went to Santa Fe to view art and eat some good food.  I spent the day on Canyon Avenue viewing some art and visiting several galleries.  I had read about a great restaurant in Santa Fe called Geronimos and had wanted to try it for several months.  I figured what the heck, i  am here lets do this.  Very cool place, sat down and enjoyed the atmosphere and ordered my meal. Started with a pineapple frise salad with a killer pumpkin/olive oil vinaigrette with  tempora pear on top.  Very nice.  Then I order the elk.  Marinaded 3 days in an asian sauce(not racist. that was his words not mine) and beer.  Very tender and paired with some nice wild mushrooms and snow peas.  Tasted with some 2006 "The Boy" K vintners, Walla Walla.  I have to say, top 10 meals of all time.  Funny happening: I paid the bill with my credit card and the waiter walked back and said, "Crystal Lewis?". 
 "Why, yes I exclaimed".  
He continued to say how he is a big Crystal fan( I said me too), then continued on to say he loved the song I wrote 'Only Fools".  Seriously, what a small world.
