cold and snowing in Vermont

Good morning everyone, I am off to finish splitting the last two cords of wood for the winter. It is ten degrees and snowing. Good for Mt. Snow ski resort and the local economy. When it snows everybody is in a great mood. Resturant staff, snow plowers, ski area, retail stores, etc. When it doesn't it is a miserable place. I just hope that the current economic situation will not deter a lot of people from coming here on holiday. Check out this funny video we took in Chicago at the Star of Siam resturant. You may even know some of these people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_IdfigReB8 Well, peace for now. Catmandon

Chicago after the election

My wife and I went to Chicago on Wed , the day after the election. The energy in this town was electrifying. Everyone was up and buzzing about the future. Obama was having dinner down the street from our hotel. Didn't get a chance to see him though. We had dinner at Joe's one of the top three hot spots in the city. It took two days to get reservations. Dinner was awesome . We went with friends from Texas. I videoed the experience and will be posting on you tube in the near future. Everyone was great and got in on the show. Steve our waiter has been there for for over 25 years. They must make outraegous money. The service was immpecable and the food was out of this world. I highly recommend this resturant when in the windy city. Another fun place was the Star of Siam Thai resturant. We went there with 8 other friends and it was also very good and a lot of laughs. Another youtube video to be uploaded soon. I will provide links when this is done. The main reason for our trip was to take the Lifebook program offered by John Butcher. This program was one of the most powerful event we have ever attended. It was life tranformational. You actually create your own lifebook or blueprint for the rest of your life in 12 different categories. Check it out at www.mylifebook.com. If you mention my name Don Jones you can attend the Jan 22nd event for 1/2 price. This is a must for everyone and not to be missed. If you are not happy or sure of where you want to go with your life and how you are going to get there. You are presented with a beautiful book at the end of the session loaded with pictures from your life and a memory stick so that you can upload to your computer and update photos and text for the rest of your life. Everyone needs this direction. Thats it for now I will be talking to you soon. Love and peace Catmandon
