Saratoga bites

A few months back I bought a Living Social deal for Javier's in Saratoga. My motivation was to enjoy a night out and sample some of Brian Bowden's food. Well, you know how that worked out.

The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*

Yesterday, I mastered my third consecutive Warrior Dash down in Windham.  How was it, you ask? Well...it was really hard - maybe the hardest one yet, for me. A beautiful foggy early morning had turned into a sunny and bright late morning and the temperature had somehow crept up into the 80s.  When I jumped … Continue reading The Warrior Dash as a life metaphor – updated*
