“Cycling has encountered more enemies than any other form of exercise.” 19th-century author Louis Baudry de Sagnier Now that summer has arrived, I've been riding my bicycle to the restaurant a couple of nights a week.

A rave for Crave
I know, I know, I'm late to the game on this place. What can I say? I've been busy and since they're closed Monday nights, I haven't been able to take advantage of this spot as an easy and quick dinner spot with my guys at the start of a week. Last Saturday, though, the … Continue reading A rave for Crave

It doesn't matter if it's groceries (I still haven't been to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods) or clothing - you'll not see me waiting in line to get into the newest retail spot.
