Opened last week. Couldn’t take pictures in the actual memorial. Pretty powerful exhibits.
#86: Eat a NYC Street Dog
#74: Eat a top 10 Zagat guide burger. Burger Joint hidden in the Parker Meridian.
Got in an hour and a half of shopping on Madison Ave, but other than boxers, socks and a couple of tee shirts, it is much harder to find what I’m looking for when I need rather than want.
#10 in Progress: Go to New York City without Luggage We’ve been looking forward to this one since I posted it on this year’s list. I know it may sound indulgent (of course it is), but shopping, clothing, branding and marketing is our business, and NYC is Mecca, so call it research and development. Going without luggage will help me hone my packing skills…
Settling in.
#66 Done: Hockey Game Enjoyed watching the Kings win game three with three Blackhawks fans.
My “little” brother is now a college graduate.
I was Kaden and Kennedy’s VIP for their lunch picnic today. Scarfed down some In n Out before melting in the triple digit heat.
Wish I could get ahold of you, but you’re off camping in no cell service land. I love and miss you.
A small enjoyable movie. Thank you to my daughter for making me home made spaghetti and meatballs before I saw this. Don’t see this hungry.
#87: The Kentucky Derby My planning came too late this year. Besides, Hemingway would’ve killed me if I didn’t spend a little pool time with him.
The “Save the Date” cards are a few weeks out, but the deposit has been made on the venue. We look forward to seeing you at the Carondelet House on Oct. 31st!
#100: Prepare ten meals at home So, I’m giving a company called Blue Apron a try. They ship you the ingredients and “easy” recipes for three meals a week. First try was this pizza panini and salad. I’d rather have a chef, but not bad.
#64: Eat at one of the world’s top restaurants Pellegrino named its top 50 restaurants in the world today. 50. Waku Ghin, Singapore 49. Coi Restaurant, San Francisco, U.S. 48. The Test Kitchen, Cape Town, South Africa (and Best in Africa) 47. The Fat Duck, Berkshire, U.K. 46. Le Calandre, Rubano, Italy 45. Hof van Cleve, Kruishoutem, Belgium 44. The French Laundry, Napa Valley,…
#48 Done: Attend a Music Festival We got our country on at Stagecoach music festival.
The iPhone camera doesn’t do it justice. Lynyrd Skynyrd
#45: Nap in a Hammock Got in a good 2 hour nap in the warm desert air.
#21 Palm Springs.
#47: Lounge by five hotel pools Lounging at the Miramonte in Rancho Mirage.
#61: Wine Refrigerator Protecting the wine shipments that continue to come in from our Napa trip.
Enjoyed a beautiful Easter day with family. Brittany found the golden egg.
#100: Find a Regular Barber This one was an old school neighborhood barbershop. One of the better cuts thus far.
#73: A Forever Pen A most excellent birthday gift from my Dad and Georgeanne.
Bourbon Street, 2008. I was naive to think my “Big Ass Beers” post would be the final say in regards to my marriage to Sonia. In the past few years I have become accustomed to a text or a Facebook “like” as the only response to a life moment. Today, my sister, Michelle, actually called me to congratulate us. Unfortunately she also asked for…
Why yes, yes it is. Nearly seventeen years after moving in together, Sonia and I tied one on and tied the knot (not in that order). This will serve as our official wedding picture. Traditional? Not so much. Fitting? I’d like to think so. Although witnessed by none of those we care for the most, all of you were most certainly in our thoughts…
#33: See 5 Bar Bands We saw ten on Saturday alone.
