Yesterday did not get off to the best start. I packed my laptop bag with some olive and rosemary bread for my brekkie, some pearl cous cous salad for lunch and a bottle of water for hydration and trekked into the city.

I almost don’t want to tell you what I did last night because it’s getting a bit ridiculous. But my day was mostly filled with miserable stress, which wasn’t much fun.

The youngest was making the most delicious grilled chicken with chimichurri and pearl cous cous salad yesterday afternoon when a helicopter started circling overhead. The youngest also baked banana bread and made dried mango in the food dehydrator. I am loving this personal chef thing. But I digress … The helicopter kept circling, low and... Continue Reading →

In another sign that middle-age is making its indelible mark on me ... other than my sudden fascination with river cruising ... I've been forced to start wearing my glasses when using the computer. I'd been managing up until recently without them, but I finally admitted to myself that I was having to squint to... Continue Reading →

Did you know they make bourbon in Utah? I tried some last night from High West Whiskey, at a four-course dinner with the brand’s Master Distiller Brendan Coyle. High West Distillery is the world's only ski-in distillery and is located at the base of the Town Lift in Park City. We kicked off with an... Continue Reading →

DD came out of retirement yesterday, less than two months after going into it. There’s been a press release about it and everything. Oooh-er v fancy! He went on a business trip for the new role on his first day. He dropped in for a millisecond on his way to the airport with a few... Continue Reading →
