Moving on -

Can't leave that depressing bit of bad verse at the top of my blog going into this weekend. It's my birthday tomorrow!! That's right, everybody celebrate.



Really.



You know you want to.



For anyone who cares, I'm going to be eating awesome food and dancing off the calories at the Abbey in Davenport:



The surrounding enclosed gardens

and spectacular view

allow guests to enjoy the timeless luxury

of gracious hospitality and true serenity.



Situated atop a bluff,

overlooking the Mississippi,

this magnificent Romanesque structure

was for many years

a cloistered Carmelite monastery.
