Last night my guys and I had dinner to celebrate middle son’s birthday. His birthday was actually on Monday, but he requested a Tuesday dinner because he felt that he would have more options from which to choose since many places are closed Mondays.

Brad Mehldau Trio at The Egg, 4/22/18
I know about as much about jazz as I do about wine. I like some of it, I recognize a few names and I am usually willing to try something new when it comes to both of those topics.

He and I plodded up Whitehall Rd and turned left onto … Continue reading Jeter got jumped
Deliver this love letter to 15 Church
I’m almost embarrassed to admit this, but I had dinner last week for the first time ever at 15 Church.
