Island Dogs is one of the five Pat Croce-owned Key West restaurants, offering simple food and live music. The music is generally in the evenings, so when I was there recently for lunch with a friend, it was pretty quiet. It is a bar atmosphere, as the center bar […]

Today we celebrate FKGuy’s birthday. Happy 42nd birthday! While we do a pretty good job of celebrating and enjoying life on a regular basis, today we’ll have an extra celebration. When I asked where he wanted to go for dinner, FKGuy requested that we stay home and have a few […]
After overcoming the bad table debacle, we settled in for a nice meal. Flying Fish Cafe is located at Disney’s Boardwalk, just steps from the entrance to EPCOT. It is my favorite area to stay because of the proximity to EPCOT, as well as good food. The decor at Flying […]

Having overindulged in mediocre pizza, we were in need of exercise Monday morning. FKGuy and I even brought cold weather running clothes with us. The pouring rain had continued through the night, but fortunately the Holiday Inn Express has a gym. Well, they have two treadmills, a stair climber and […]
It seems like it is all about wine these days on the blog, and that is a good thing. I received an email a couple of weeks ago, and after a quick scan (and seeing the words “Chiarlo“, “Barolo” and “Lunch” all in the same paragraph), I decided to read […]
