…and this is largely why I live in Florida. It is not even Thanksgiving yet, and the west is buried under a blanket of the fluffy, white stuff. When I lived in New York City it went like this: Day 1, Snow; pretty much everything shuts down. Day 2, everyone […]

Image via Wikipedia I hold grudges. It is a character flaw, for sure, but there are certain things I just can’t let go. Often times, these are relatively minor issues, but usually there has been some egregious (in my mind) injustice (to me, or someone I know). Like my Sarabeth’s […]
At first it was a loud exhale, followed by an eye roll, followed by a tirade of “who has time for this crap”, culminating with the “it’s my civic duty, I can suck it up for a day or two.” Yes, I am talking about Jury Duty and receiving the […]
Key West has an array of ethnic foods from Cuban to Thai and everything in between, except Indian food. While I’d love to have some good vindaloo here, I don’t really suffer with all of the other good eats in town. Colombian Grace is one of the newer additions to […]
It has been well over a year since I have been spending loads of time in Key West. In honor of this not-so-specific milestone, I thought I would recap some highlights. A year ago this weekend we were watching the power boat races from our friend’s balcony. This weekend we […]

Fantasy Fest is a week-long party. There is a headdress ball, a pet masquerade, toga parties, plaid parties, green parties and more. There is body painting, and even body painting contests. Some of the body paint looks like clothes. Others, not so much. Throughout the week there are many interesting costumes […]
