Ski-fest 2011 is over. In my case, maybe it could be called sit-around-in-ski-boots-fest. I did not do an incredible amount of skiing over the course of my five available ski days. I was pretty gung-ho, given what good shape I am in from all this running. The one flaw in […]

I often have clients that want more than the “standard” cruise experience. They want it all: superior service, excellent food and no bill at the end of the cruise. Impossible? Not anymore.

I have been avoiding Blue Heaven for quite a while now, simply because there is a perpetual one-to-two hour long wait. However, after winning a $25 gift certificate at the Hog’s Breath Hog Trot 5K last week, I was inspired to go. After playing tennis – 2 sets for me, […]
