We had some wine drinking friends in town, but the only day we had that we could go out and enjoy a nice meal with some good wines was last night. Why? Passover. Or as I like to call it, The almost carb-less holiday that seems to drag on forever. […]

Airlines have made flying unpleasant. From the climbing ticket prices to the nickel-and-diming (Spirit is charging for carry-on luggage now), it all just makes you want to jump into your car and drive. I often have clients ask if a particular airline is “good”. Here is what I tell them: Any […]
The Sun-Sentinel has once again announced the Best of Blogs winners in spectacular fashion. Bloggers, friends of Bloggers and even FKGuy gathered at YOLO in Fort Lauderdale for the grand announcement. It is interesting to put faces with blogs, that is for sure. I can only imagine what they thought […]
Tennis is the only sport I really love. I am working on “loving” running, but so far, I find it kind of torturous, even though I have done two half marathons and after my knee surgery (coming up on April 21 – you can read about it then) I will […]

The Utah wine crowd is a fun one. I know, you wouldn’t think it, but it is true. We get together for some sort of wine dinner every time we are in town, which is sadly limited to once a year. This year’s festivities took place upstairs in a private […]
For me the skiing is all about one thing. Powder? Nope. Lovely groomed trails? Well, sometimes. Lunch? All the time. I have now worked into each Deer Valley trip a lunch at the new-last-year JG Grill. As is Jean Georges. Yes, that Jean Georges. I ski there from the Deer […]
We go to Utah usually once or twice per year. We visit with friends. We ski or hike, depending on season (usually the former), and we eat really well. One of the places on my must-eat list each year is The Mariposa at Deer Valley. It is a great dining […]
