we dragged ron around STL

RON-da was our first official st. louis visitor this past weekend. he has a famous aversion to non-stop flights, especially short ones, so we were actually impressed that he would dare take the quick direct flight from omaha.

we dragged him all over the city saturday morning to hit the yard sale circuit. where, dabney found more chairs and some christmas decorations.

we made him spend two lovely evenings at my new favorite bar. here, you can see why:



a hotbed for local democratic activity, dabney and i find ourselves at home in its courtyard, long specialty cocktail list, and fish taco offerings.

one of the evenings we were there, the bar held an obama fundraiser with free nibbles while local singer/songwriters provided an appropiate folksy ambiance. while there, i picked up one of these most awesome t-shirts, too.



we also dragged ron to grant's farm where we forced him to drink free anheuser-busch beer and look at cute animals all day.


"i can't reach my beer!"
