The holidays are once again upon us. I have shopped, cleaned the house (at the very last possible moment) and am ready for the seders. By “ready” I mean “looking forward to going to my parents’ house and not doing any of the work associated with the seder, with the […]
The catchphrase is “If you love our steaks you’ll flip for our burgers” and the first location (although several more are planned, along with franchises) is in the Florida Keys, at the Postcard Inn at Holidays Isle.They have billboards with big, juicy burgers tempting all driving by.
When my father wanted to go to Hakkasan for his birthday, I was surprised. It is in the Fontainbleu hotel on Miami Beach so the place is huge (Hakkasan is about a 10 minute walk from where we valeted the car) and the fact that is undoubtedly crazy-expensive, off we […]
If you have read my blog for a while now, you know that I love tennis. I love to play it (although my serve sucks). I love to wear tennis clothes (they are very forgiving, even with the spandex). I love to watch other people playing tennis (and heckling my […]

I am fortunate to have a number of people in my world I consider close friends (don’t worry… this isn’t going to be one of those sappy “I love you, man” posts… keep reading). I have the good fortune of working with one of these lucky people on a new […]
