Key West is an outdoorsy kind of place. Between the fishing, outdoor dining, beaches and more, Key West is known for the year round sunshine. So, what do you do if your one week of vacation happens when we are having a great downpour that lasts for five days straight? […]

I usually stay away from the political discussions here in favor of more fun (and sometimes less stressful) topics like food and wine, running and marathoning (I have a half in December and due to doggie duty have not started training. Oops), travel and now, the dog’s world. But this […]
