At the invitation of Brigid, Mr. B and I made our way to the Range for lunch today to be greeted by Brigid, Barkley, and G-Dog.  Og, Partner, and Rich also were there after their trip to the Indy 1500.  We had some wonderful food–pasta with venison meat sauce, rosemary infused sourdough bread, and a… Continue reading
