This quote by the irrepressible Mame Dennis of "Auntie Mame" fame challenges me to grasp life to the fullest. I have been lucky to live in a great location that provides a huge diversity of things to do, places to visit, concerts, theater, classic movies and events. The Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area is so rich in activities and events that I am hard pressed to spend time quietly at home.
A few years ago I spent an amazing weekend with two close friends road tripping to the North Carolina Highland Games at Grandfather Mt. We each had a great time listening to Celtic rock music, watching the athletic games and celebrating history with my Scottish Clan, The Kennedys. We had such a good time that we vowed to keep seeking out new and fun things to do and to include more friends in our adventures. As we attended events, concerts, movies and more we me more fun people and soon our group grew to include a wide variety of people in a 30 year span of ages and diverse interests. The group grew in part because we would be telling people about our activities and they would say "I wish I had known about that! Why didn't you tell me about it?" I had a problem remembering which friends wanted to attend which events. As the circle of friends has expanded an e-list is not enough to keep up with all the abundant choices out there to live a rich and interesting life. So this is the birth of the Banquet Blog.
