Continuing the tradition of weekend backyard improvement, we ordered a pair of Adirondack Chairs from, where else, adirondackchairs.com of course!
They arrived earlier in the week and we set out to put them together on Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend (hence the name of the event). To keep with the spirit of how we like [...]

Tulum is about an [...]

This post was started in early January and due to a bunch of things (wrapping up old job, vacation, starting new job), didn’t see the light of day until today.
Last year I found that writing down some goals for the year gave me some focus, I’m going to do the same thing for this year.

Friday night Manlio was in NYC so we grabbed some dinner with him before heading into town. In the cab ride, he mentioned a bar that Dennis had recommend. This bar, he said, had a mechanical bull. That was all he needed to say before Alex and I were requesting the location and directing the [...]
