A Toast to Me!

I just spent a great weekend with my family celebrating Christmas.  As usual, my mom did an amazing job with the food and everyone was in great spirits.  A new tradition that my little brother and his wife have started is breakfast on Christmas morning – this year I was asked to bring a dish [...]

I think her cup just runneth over… This morning I kept thinking of a theme for an upcoming wine-pairing dinner and decided to do a little research.  I typed my search words into Google and came across and article/advertisement for a bra that actually holds booze.  Want to go from an B cup to a [...]

Corky is not a big dog, but he is a quick one!  Every morning Corky and I go for a walk.  Mostly so that he can take care of business, but I make sure we take the long way around so that he can time to adequately bug the crap out of the squirrels and [...]

I was going over some new blog sites  and came across a post that gives a bit of insight on the author.  I thought it would be fun to fill it out myself and share it with you.  Here goes: Four jobs I’ve had: – Wine Cellar Manager – CEO of a cheese manufacturing company [...]

A couple of weeks ago I made a reservation to attend  I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change! at The Repertory East Playhouse (or as we call it “The REP”) with a few friends.  It is a musical comedy about “everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws… [...]

My mom has been battling with her teeth lately and being the good pains in the tushes that we are, we have asked her to please go see a dentist! So for the last few weeks, she’s been researching dentists. She’s even gone to see a few of them to obtain estimates. Needless to say, [...]

This evening I find myself in a hotel waiting to be called upon to be inducted into an organization. I am here because a dear friend of mine has been asking me to join for a year now and I finally told him that I’d do it for him. The premise of the organization is [...]
