Some may already know that I am spending the Winter in Utah among the beautiful people for several reasons.Mainly I am recovering from a crazy aneurysm that  tried its best to take me out.  I am seemingly more  powerful, knock on wood.

I continue to write craveDFW with stored up stories and help from some terrific contributors who are eager to try out new places in my stead. But I am missing things in my little berg. I am missing quite a bit. Let’s take a look at what you initially long for once you leave town for a bit. I will add to the list as the month progresses I am sure.
