After a summer spent working and vacationing, I elected to spend this holiday weekend, quietly at home. Friday night I ate al fresco at The Cheese Traveler, devouring my burger and merely indicating yes or no with the motion of my head. So good! Saturday, following a run, I ate at Mingle's bar very much … Continue reading Labor Day – sunshine and duck butts

Reflections of Disney
Well, we survived our theme park adventures relatively unscathed. Quinn has a bit of a cold he picked up as a souvenir, along with the small tower of maps, used tickets and a Disney-esque handbook and completed passport. He wore his new Mickey Mouse shirt yesterday and absolutely rocked it. Good boy, good trip, good … Continue reading Reflections of Disney
Adirondack Tubing Adventures

When I rolled in to … Continue reading Pie-eyed for the Scottish Bakehouse

Popping cherries
Is it me or have the cherries this year been terrific? I've really been enjoying them with plain Greek yogurt and granola as a light lunch or pre-run snack in recent weeks and will be sad to see the season end. Especially since I just bought a new kitchen gadget to make eating even easier. … Continue reading Popping cherries
Dinner at the Art Cliff Diner
During the two weeks we spend at the beach each summer, we eat dinner out maybe a handful of times. Part of that decision is based upon practicalities - kids, expense, day drinking and driving, but the fact that we've been disappointed with pricy meals in restaurants with menus that attempt to satisfy adults and … Continue reading Dinner at the Art Cliff Diner
