It’s OK. We all know. Flying sucks. But if you want to get out and actually see the world, it is a necessary evil. In my job, I am often the bearer of bad news like “the airline changed your flight. Again.” Recently, a client was asking me how to survive a […]
Last week, I told you about many of the Key West summer specials going on around town. I can now report on several. It started Labor Day weekend, we had friends in town and planned on dinner at Azur (even before I knew it was 50% off). Though they had […]
Another holiday in the books, and I must say I managed the food situation quite well. As with any holiday, early preparation is the key to not being frazzled at the last minute. Two months in advance, I had menus planned out (holiday meals do not change too much), and a […]

Monday marks our 18th wedding anniversary. FKGuy is always quick to point out, however, that we have actually been together for 22 years. He thinks it sounds more impressive. I like to point out that on our honeymoon I was not old enough to be listed on the rental car agreement, […]
Today is National Dog Day. No, I don’t know what that means either. Every day is Dog Day in my house. In honor of this dubious “holiday” I have agreed to let Latke take over the reigns and be the guest blogger today. So here you go… Hello, world. I […]
