Presenting, in no particular order, the 5 best things I ate in the 5th month of the year… Softshell crabs at New World Bistro Bar.

In the flesh – Princess Leia’s bikini
As we traveled to NYC last Saturday morning my oldest son brought my attention to an event currently being held at the Discovery Center, Star Wars and the Power of Costume. We’ve been to a couple of other exhibitions at this venue and have always been satisfied with the experience and, seeing that my youngest … Continue reading In the flesh – Princess Leia’s bikini

Incidentally, what does it mean, when my life is so busy, that I go to the city … Continue reading Can I have your number?
