    OMG! as the kids say. Truly an early front runner for the post of the year! Setting the bar impossibly high. Just fabulous to see the behind-the-scenes process. Thank you very much! --Joy

    Along with Ronnie's photos, this made my morning. My resolution for 2013 is to get this oath into wider circulation.

    About 120. There was also a blood orange granite and our pastry chef did a very nice dessert buffet.

    Huh. As always, the trail leads back to Hammond.


    Unless, of course, it leads back to C2!!! :D

    Ah, Our Glorious Leaders!

    Happy New Year, y'awl!
