This Friday marked the official end of Riesling Week. Who knew there was a whole week dedicated to Riesling? Turns out that Riesling is regarded as one of the 3 most important white grapes in the world. During Riesling week, I learned a few things. Mainly that, if you want a dry Riesling, look for [...]

This past week has been one of the toughest of my life. As I wrote last Friday, my father passed away last week at the young age of 67. He was one month shy of turning 68. This was, in my opinion, way too young to die. This Friday afternoon, we picked up his ashes [...]

LET IT SNOW! It isn’t often that Manhattan gets a snow storm that results in anything but slush on the streets but, this storm has managed to stick around long enough to dump a good solid foot of snow on city streets and sidewalks.

This week felt especially long even though Monday was a holiday. I got home on Friday a little on the tired side but definitely ready to cook some dinner and relax with a glass of wine. We also started our dog-sitting adventure this Friday. We are hosting an adorable King Charles Spaniel named P.J. for [...]

We gathered at our apartment with a few friends on this Friday evening to watch the Vancouver Winter Olympics opening ceremonies. A pall was cast upon the opening ceremonies by the tragic death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili. Appropriately, the games did go on, with the opening ceremonies dedicated to the fallen athlete. We were [...]

This Friday was moving day! I’m completely exhausted. The movers got to the first stop at around 8:30am and made short work of a small apartment. Then they moved on to my apartment which proved just a touch more challenging. As I sit in the new apartment with over the top views of Manhattan from [...]

The Europeans grow their grapes in the vineyards, harvest them, and then cart them to the winery. The winery is usually in a village center and is generally [...]

This weekend, I will embark on an adventure that just a few years ago I could never imagine. I’m going to ride my bike, a Felt F3 SL from Burlington, Vermont to Palmerton, PA as part of the Pennsylvania Perimeter Ride Against Cancer or PPRAC. At one point in time, this ride was actually around [...]

Unfortunately, this Friday I spent helping a friend recover from knee surgery - a partial menisectomy - where a part of the meniscus is removed arthroscopically. Well, now that I’m done with all the scientific/medical terms I will say that this procedure shares one very large benefit with just about any surgery. That benefit is [...]

It was a short week according to the calendar, but it felt like there was an extra day of work. I left work on Friday evening and got home to my Hoboken apartment, opened a nice bottle of Les Belles Vignes Sancerre, sat back in the living room, and listened to the rain fall on [...]
