I admit it: anything with “Short Attention Span” in the title is going to catch my attention. When it applies to theater it seemed to be a no-brainer. After all, if one play sucks, it only lasts a few minutes and then we are on to the next one. Last […]

I want t take a moment and wish a Happy Mother’s Day to my mother, my mother-in-law and everyone else who is a mother today. I will even refrain from my usual Hallmark-holiday rant about why we need to buy cards and flowers today only and how bad restaurant service […]
I almost always miss subtlety. I often even miss hints that are not too subtle. For the second time in two weeks I found myself leaving a restaurant a little too late. Last time, it was at Il Mercato and they were cleaning the floors around us. This time it […]
The “Duval Crawl” is famous. People from all over the world come to Key West and drink at the bars both on and off Duval Street. There are even shore excursions from cruise ships offered to do the crawl. Although, I don’t understand why you would need a tour guide […]
You know how sometimes you just know what is going to happen? Yet you trudge ahead, ignoring the warning signs? This weekend, we decided to have lunch at Bistro 245 at the Westin. I still have some buy-one-get-one-free places on my Woman’s Club Restaurant Card, which expires in June, so […]

After many months of suffering through knee pain (and working out some insurance issues), I had surgery to cut out the damaged part of my meniscus last week. Having injured myself many times before, I am familiar with the whole surgery and recovery process. I showed up at 5:30AM, as […]
Airlines have made flying unpleasant. From the climbing ticket prices to the nickel-and-diming (Spirit is charging for carry-on luggage now), it all just makes you want to jump into your car and drive. I often have clients ask if a particular airline is “good”. Here is what I tell them: Any […]
Along the harbor in Key West lie several eateries and bars. For whatever reason, I have never eaten at the Schooner Wharf. Last weekend, I was inspired to do just that. After a morning of tennis, we hopped on our bikes and headed to harbor. Schooner Wharf is ubiquitously Key […]
