I may need to consult with an astrologist because it feels like the planets have shifted recently and things have gotten a little whacky in my world.

Choosing what’s best – Election Day and every day
Owning a restaurant was an experience I’ll never forget - nor ever want to live again. We’ve all had a relationship like that at least once, right?

First stop – Mrs. London’s for my usual almond croissant and glorious bowl of latte. Carbed and caffeined, I made my way to Saratoga National … Continue reading Soaking it in
