So, I've had 2 training shifts at the Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark and I think I'm going to really enjoy spending my Mondays there. I must admit, I'm a little intimidated coming into an environment where the staff, particularly Kerry and Jonathan, are so well established, but hopefully my many years of service … Continue reading The New Old(er) Woman

Lakehouse Halloween Party
My Joan Holloway Harris ImpersonationLast night's annual Halloween Party, hosted by Matt Baumgartner and Chris Pratt, was the usual rollicking good time party goers have learned to expect.

Yesterday afternoon I went down to Dale Miller for a … Continue reading Tongue Diving with Adam Lambert
