Someone wanted proof that I escaped to St. Louis for the weekend. I must admit that my camera was very intimidated by the big shots surrounding it. So much so that little Sony Cyber-shot could scarcely be coaxed out of his bag.

Can you see why? Look at the sophisticates that surrounded him.

Shannon. Love this expression. I'm thinking someone must have said something silly. Imagine that.

Beautiful. Incredible. Amazing. The arch. The weather. The trip. My friends.
