Herrrrrrre's Johnny

We went to a very nice wedding this weekend. The reception took place at The Summit Inn, which is a turn-of-the-century mountaintop resort.

It fit my mental image of the Overlook Inn almost exactly. Old, top of a mountain, big, lots of rooms, nooks, and crannies.

You remember the Overlook Inn, don't you? That was the place Jack Nicholson and his family stayed as winter caretakers in The Shining only to find out the place was haunted. The house caused Jack to run screaming through the empty halls with an ax trying to kill his family.

Well, this place was just like it. Only it was summer, and there were lots of people there, and there were no ghostly bartenders or infernal typewriters that spelled REDRUM, REDRUM, REDRUM over and over again. And there were none of those big animals made out of bushes. And no one was running through the halls screaming with an ax.

Other than that, it was just like it.

Have a happy 4th of July.
