| Christmas Gathering |
Last weekend Melissa and I had a GREAT time joining a bunch of friends we’ve made via the LiLV Podcast for dinner and drinks at Buca Di Beppo, on Lake Mead Blvd. Besides enjoying the company of Jacob, Sally, Alicia, David, Cheryl, Brad, Sally, Kerry and Perry, we were joined by the Pope himself.
Hard to beat that!
Afterwards, Melissa, David, Alicia and I headed down to Frankie’s Tiki Room.
I’ve included a link to some photos I’ve uploaded on Picasa. (Some of those Frankie’s photos did not make it online. Yikes!)
Merry Christmas to all!
