After years of living pet-free, we decided it was about time to adopt an animal or two, give a friendly kitten or cat a home and hope that in return they’d do cat things like lay around on the furniture, get under your feet as you attempt to walk, and sit on the sink to [...]

This Friday was an important milestone for a good friend of mine. He turned 21 – legal drinking age in the good old USofA. And, this guy has it made. He is has shaggy blond hair with deep brown eyes. He is very well built – a solid frame and a firm jaw line. All [...]

I spent the first Friday in April celebrating a (much) younger friend’s 32nd birthday. If I knew then what I know now… I would have given up cheap beer at a much younger age. I also would have not been so afraid of drinking non-red wines. I think it was soon after my 32nd birthday [...]

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 [...]

BLT does not stand for Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato, but rather Bistro Laurent Tourondel - for the collection of Bistro’s owned by this outstanding chef. The restaurant offers a fantastic New England Fish [...]

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 [...]
