There is a reason people live in Florida: warm, sunny days, complete with an ocean breeze. Images of sitting outside sipping a frozen cocktail dance in my head. Alas, those images will exist only in mind, at least in the short term. Yesterday I got up for my morning run […]

Stepping into the Cracked Conch Cafe in Marathon (MM 49.5) is like taking one giant leap backwards to 1975, complete with vinyl tablecloths, diner-style menu and dudes at the outside bar smoking. I suppose if it actually were 1975, they would have been smoking inside. The menu is large and […]
I had a whole cold weather rant ready to go this morning, and I will tell you, it was pretty funny. Alas, I have just returned from visiting a friend in hospice care and am not in such good cheer. I will be back on Monday with the promised cold […]
I have a love-hate relationship with the entire month of December. I love celebrating my birthday (December 24). I love that there are a million things to do and events to attend. I love baking cookies and boxing them up for family, friends and clients as if they were an extravagant gift. […]

Last night my family gathered at my house, sixteen people total, for the big meal. Two days in the kitchen plus endless grocery runs produced this, and more: I hope you had as great a Thanksgiving as I did. I will be back Monday with a recap of the Hog’s […]
