On the fourth day of Christmas I checked out a spot in the neighborhood where I find it easy to enjoy visions of sugarplums any time of the year - Emack & Bolio.

On the third day of Christmas, I somehow ended up with three boys who are in complete disagreement about cheese preferences. My oldest son will sit on the couch with a hunk of cheddar and go to town, while my middle guy will only eat soft Italian cheeses like mascarpone or ricotta, preferably sweetened.

We left my … Continue reading Full moon run – at last!

Yep, just another day in the life. December dawned with an appropriate and picturesque dusting of snow, pretty to look at, but not necessarily fun to run on. I thought the Jingle Jog 5K began at 9:00, but since 10:00 was the actual time, I had plenty of time to stretch and mentally prepare to … Continue reading From jingle bells to a masquerade gala
