Once I get it in my head that I am going to do something, it can sometimes become an obsession. Like FKGuy’s 40th birthday. I decided we would have a party. Floating pool lights,tiki torches, loads of alcohol and way too much food later, we had party. The night before […]

My parents recently returned from a French river cruise. They spent a couple of nights in Paris and then headed to Lyon for the cruise. (Yes, I did book the trip for them). Before leaving, my mom graciously asked if there was anything I wanted them to bring back. In […]
One of my roommates from college celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday. She was less than pleased about this particular milestone and was convinced that her birthday was going to suck and none of her friends would be around to celebrate. She was wrong.
I have mentioned 3 Loud Women, the hip, new lifestyle show, appearing on You Tube. Well, folks, today is the day. We go live. Well, not live, per se – the video has been recorded – but we will air our first episode. Be sure to check it out and […]

We have wine friends everywhere, so when out of town wine geeks make it south, we always try to get together with them. Last week, a lovely couple from New York came down to Florida, so nine of us got together at Il Mercato in Hallandale for loads of wine, […]
I absolutely love the Waterfront Playhouse. It is right at Mallory Square, so once you get past the throngs of tourists there for sunset, it is a pleasure. The theater itself is small, charming and well air conditioned (hey, these things are important in Key West…) There is also not […]
Key West Story is the newest book from author Rick Skwiot, and the latest book I have forced upon my book club. I’m glad I did. The book is a great read. Our main character, Con, finds himself in a bit of a bind and needs to make some interesting […]
