January 3.  I stopped at Craft(s) Gallery's show tonight for Sean Garrison's work "The Fruits of Rashness."  I love going in that place, the smell of the room, the interesting things I find and the owners Karen and David are such an amazing addition to downtown Louisville.  The artwork was beautiful, colorful, whimsical-almost cartoon-like in the best possible way.  I ran into a couple of artists and friends at the reception, good neighbors and met some new people.    I also bought a belt I have been obsessing over.  I normally don't get that crazy about things but I kept coming back to this belt.  Just a tiny moment of weakness and it's mine, and I absolutely love it.

Off to the Monkey Wrench for a drink and a goodbye for Rebecca leaving to the below freezing tundra of Wisconsin.  I love going to the Wrench despite the bittersweet occasion of the night.  The place has gone through a major overhaul recently from the decor to the menu.  I love the new menu, but tonight was just a beer and a goodbye.  I'm sure I will be back for dinner in the coming weeks as I am sure Rebecca will be back in the Bluegrass state someday.  I will miss that girl.
