For as long as I can recall, American Airlines has served chocolate chip cookies in first class that they bake on board. It’s one of my favorite parts of the flight as my wayward cholesterol level can attest to. It seems not all cookies…
I’ve said more than once (heck more than a couple dozen times) that if you want great BBQ, you go to Texas. Texas has some really great BBQ. Black’s is one of my favorites, and I enjoy Iron Works in Austin proper. Hard 8…
I live in Northern Virginia and we’ve had some bizarre weather the last couple of days. I was gone, so my wife was fighting the good fight on her own. Now that I’m back there’s a bunch to get caught up on, as you…

It was a whirlwind trip to Paris. We were able to squeeze in 2 trips to the Eiffel Tower, lunch and macaroons as well as some walking around Paris. Our flight delay really threw a wrench in that first day as we never really got in the groove to get anything accomplished. I can’t say that Paris blew me off my feet, but she convinced me I want to come back and see more. I’d choose a trip back to Italy before I would loop back to the City of Light but I do know I’ll see more of Paris. There’s more the city has to offer me and I’ll look forward to peeling back the layers in the future.
