I am a little obsessed with shopping right now. No, I don’t own several pairs of Gucci sunglasses, nor do I own 30 pairs of jeans (I currently have two). Rather, I am obsessed with shopping for a house. I think that if I am patient enough, which is pretty […]

This, and other pearls of wisdom, like “don’t cut your toenails while drunk”, were interspersed with the music last night at the Green Parrot. Part of the Key West Songwriters Festival going on this weekend, Robert Earl Keen performed to a full house, and a large crowd gathered outside on […]
If you’ve been following along, you know I am a wine geek. I also love to travel and eat. When I travel, I generally stay at small, independently run inns. When dining, I avoid chain restaurants like the plague, with limited, lunch-time-desperation exceptions. Wine is no different. I seek out […]
Life is simply too short to not enjoy yourself. Certain things we do because we must: grocery shopping, laundry, work. Other things we do for fun: bowling, sporting events and concerts. Last weekend was the opening show for Jimmy Buffett’s Under the Big Top Tour, and it was great fun. […]
