I visited Lebanon and the Golden Lamb just two weeks ago. Now that my family and I live in the Cincinnati area, I shop in both Lebanon and Waynesville as much as possible (particularly during the Christmas season!).
Relative to Fort Hood, the President delivered yet another eloquent and passionate speech; however, I wouldn't put it in the same category as his "Cathedral" speech -- a speech which will join the President's oration to Congress on 11/20/01 as one of the best speeches in American history!
All: I did record the "Fort Hood" speech; let me double check the tape's quality -- if the quality is good, I can certainly make some copies for those of you who would like one!
I will put my request in now for a tape of that speech. Thank you for the offer. Tho I missed this speech :^(, I am convinced it was truly an event marked by a bonding of a President to the men and women who stand between us and whatever evil is around the bend.
Kewl to discover that someone else knows what a treasure the Golden Lamb is. I had never seen the place decked out for Christmas (the decorations go down tomorrow) and was charmed by the attention to detail. As for the food- the salmon w/mixed veggies is to die for! hehe (or...oink! oink!) The wine was superb, the service extraordinary. It always seems like a genuine treat to dine there, imho! And I know Waynesville, well. Love that smallish place-more shops in Lebanon but I used to go swimming in Waynesville as a kid and hold fond memories of that countryside town. The whole area is beautiful. I grew up in Xenia, Ohio-about 20-25 mins directly east of Dayton, but was born in Cincy, and now live near Indianapolis.
Muggs, Freeper extraordinaire, and Timestax (we have traveled to DC to Freep together-are March for Justice cohorts!) also live just outside Cincy
