A mere 18 months after purchasing our tickets, Griffin and I, at long last, drove north to catch Bono and the boys live at the Hippodrome. As I explained to G, leaving the country to see a U2 show at the ripe old age of 12, is an experience not to be belittled - nor … Continue reading Roadtrip Montreal!

When you live next door to artists…
My original RagsdaleAbout 2 years ago, our next door neighbors put their house on the market. During the brief time the house was for sale, I sometimes imagined who the new perfect neighbors might be. The sellers were a nice enough couple with three children, but we certainly didn't have much in common with them. … Continue reading When you live next door to artists…
I’m all over the internets!

Memorial Day Weekend aka the weekend I learned to love running in the heat
I don't know what happened to me.

Delso House White – Summer 2011
I am a huge fan of Empire Wine and Liquor in the Northway Mall. I like the owners, I appreciate their marketing, which is frequent without being irritating, and I value their customer service which always saves me time. They do this Ship 4 Free thing which is an offering of 4 bottles of wine, shipped … Continue reading Delso House White – Summer 2011
