I have worked in the same building for the last 15 years, minus the two years I was working in New York. I never really thought much about the building beyond the fact it was easy to explain the location to people. But today I walked out of there for maybe the last time and…

Recent Reads 30 Second Reviews
I finally made some progress on my stack of books waiting to be read. I take advantage of my commute for reading time. When a book fails to engage me I tend to opt to listen to podcasts instead, then it takes longer than necessary to finish the book. A sure sign of a great…
Kelly’s Krab Dip
An easy dip my sister introduced to me, of course I always have to call or text her to make sure I am not leaving anything out. I think it is because it is so easy, that I figure I must be missing something. You can make it as spicy or not as you wish….

Adventures in Legoland
We went to LegoLand for Spring Break this year. Actually this is the first time I think I have ever been on a Spring Break. Oh wait, I did go to Florida my freshman year of high school to visit my Aunt and Uncle. My face got so burned it was all swollen the next…
Chimichurri Burgers

Tiger Woods of Air Travel
I hate flying, always have and always will. The last time I flew to California I was completely unprepared, as I fully expected to just sit back watch a movie and read my book to fill in the remainder of the time. To my shock the plane did have ANY on board entertainment. This, in…
Killing Time at the Airport
As it turns out, you can get to the airport too early. Especially when traveling with kids. On our recent trip to we decided it would be easier to drive to the airport and park in long-term parking. This means driving to the airport, parking, hoping on a shuttle bus, then up to the tram…
Celebrate Every Day!
Don’t wait for a special occasion to celebrate, celebrate the every day things too. It is generally a lot less hectic that way too, rather then waiting for an overblown, over-planned event. We had a rare weekend with no plans on the calendar (well beside the usual weekend errands). The weather was nice so we…
