A change of plans

We had planned to go see the new Batman movie this afternoon, run some errands, make dinner and see the Hold Steady tonight….but then Alec went outside to water the plants and came back with a strained lower back. So, it looks like the remainder of the afternoon will be spent applying Blue Emu, fluffing [...]

After one failed attempt (no reservations), we finally dined at Sel Gris Thursday night. The food, drinks and decor were fantastic. I had the slow-cooked pork and cannelini beans. Alec had the fish of the day. Both were the perfect portions and summer flavors. Be warned: The dishes are a little pricey, but the free [...]

Nothing says ’summer’ quite like a new red Adirondack chair, Costco hotdogs with deli mustard, a home in the midst of a remodel, and two 40 year old men playing catch in the middle of the street….
