The Super Bowl is coming up, and everyone – even me – is always curious to see the commercials. Since I don’t think we’ll get Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction again any time soon, it’s the best thing I’ve got for entertainment during the big game. Yesterday, the GoDaddy puppy came […]
Last week I had the good fortune of being invited to the Union Des Grands Crus de Bordeaux (UGC) tasting of the 2012 vintage at LIV nightclub, in the Fontainebleau hotel, sponsored by Total Wine and More. This was one spectacular event. With 90-something wineries represented, we got a pretty […]

Pardon me as we clean up the site a bit today. Will be back soon with travel tips, eating adventures and more tales from the rock.
I haven’t been to Cafe Sole in over five years. I was unimpressed with the service and general attitude at Cafe Sole, so after they opened Bistro Sole on White Street, I didn’t rush over there. Bistro Sole is in a location that, in my five years in Key West, […]
