Thursday is the final day for entries in the Winter Skies photo contest. So steady your tripod, snap a few shots this week and join a great group of shutterbugs in the competition. The winner will get the complete package of my music including five CDs and a DVD.
Also, tomorrow I will kick off a discussion about restaurants with a deep and rich tradition of excellence. Give that some thought and join us for the dialogue tomorrow.
