We arrived in New York for a very short visit last Friday, and promptly had dinner with friends, my cousin and soon to be cousin-in-law (Is that even a thing? I think I’ll just keep him in the friend category) at our home on the Upper West Side. Naturally, by […]

Sunday night brought one of the most loved parties of the year in Key West: Azur’s annual End Of Season Closing Party. They will only be closed until the beginning of October, but that is no reason not to have a party. Plus, they need to use all of the […]
I am cursed with having a serious case of Foot in Mouth Disease. I have spoken with my doctor and he assures me that there is nothing he can do about it. I will just have to learn to moderate myself and deal with it. Thus far, I have been […]
I am sitting at my dining room table (since I really can’t handle the office just yet) recovering from a cholecystectomy on Friday. You may be wondering what exactly a cholecystectomy is… I was.

It is a time when restaurants offer discounts for locals to entice them out of their heat-induced stupor. Hotels try to lure tourists […]

The One Human Family philosophy comes together with floats, decorated cars and several people running for office showing their support. Babka […]
There has to be a counterpart to the mama hen toting her baby chicks around, right? I mean, she had to have help making those cute little things… Alas, there are many roosters in Key West. I often see one or two hanging out in the empty lot next door, […]
