After all the TOR fun I put in another 6+ hours of driving Saturday to get to the Santee Lodge winter banquet. I sat at a table with old friends and laughed about old stories and inside jokes. The food was great and the venue was really nice. It was held in a metal barn out on a farm that had been converted into an event space. I thought it was pretty COVID friendly with the tall ceilings so perhaps that was a good choice in these times.
