Thanks for the link as always!

That wedding in Lenox sounds like everything a wedding should be. Great post (and photo).

Thanks again, those tomatoes are some seriously good stuff. Ordered another five pounds and got three more of those huge orange suckers. Now it's on to squash, squash, squash...

Update: Scubbers had their soft opening today with a limited menu (everything except sandwiches was available). I wrote one of my "derryX Dines" reviews; read it here http://derryx.com/?p=1018 .

I also was the first customer and became mayor on foursquare. How's that for dedication!?
