And thanks to all the great restaurants [...]

As some of you know, Health Month started last week and I got swept up in the excitement because a) I’m wildly competitive, b) I like a good challenge and c) I can easily get wrapped up in tracking personal wellness (see: 30 by 30) Anyway, in an effort to spare you the drawn-out details, [...]

October 26, 2008

This weekend we were supposed to head out to Long Island for our annual pumpkin picking outing for my Mom’s birthday.

So many TOADS

July 19, 2008

Some TOAD highlights from the last month…. I can’t think of a single shower that we’ve had this summer that wasn’t a total downpour. Here’s the result of a Saturday afternoon storm a few weeks ago.
