Journey. That is all.
Sunday night concerts usually lead to Monday morning exhaustion. And while that is 100% the case, my Monday involves a smile on my for thanks to the Journey concert. The guys put on a spectacular show and sounded phenomenal. Had I still been in NYC, I’m sure I wouldn’t have been able to go. Another…

Mardi Gras success.
What a blast. Mardi Gras 2015 was great and I was able to experience so much goodness that the city puts out during the season. A little rain on Monday night didn’t stop us at all. Now it’s time to bring on spring and the warmer weather!

The day the streak ended
I’ve been in attendance for some huge sporting events. And on Monday, the game between the Pelicans and the Atlanta Hawks had that “big game” feel. The Hawks were riding a 19 game win streak and playing some excellent basketball. Pelicans star, Anthony Davis, had sat out the previous game with a groin strain. You…

King Cake
There’s never a shortage of King Cakes in the office during the season but today’s offering is definitely one of the most interesting. Peanut butter King Cake from Ye Olde College Bakery. It’s got our office talking and tastes better than it smells, which is high acclaim.

But I spent Monday, MLK Day, digging up a field to help a local school plant their own vegetables. This helps the students learn more about what…

First time for everything
I find it hard to believe, but Saturday was the first time I’ve ever been in the St Louis Cathedral at Jackson Square. I was there for an afternoon wedding. The church is beautiful and has so much history, being inside gave me goosebumps. The second line to the reception was fun and the band…

Attack of the lobsters!!!
A neighbor who is from Maine means lobster goodness upon his return from his home state. Although I had planned to hit the first parade of the season, I got sidetracked by this lobster goodness.

New year, great fun
I typically don’t make New Year resolutions, and this year is no different. However, I made a decision on New Year’s Eve as I was lying on my sofa with a wicked cold that 2015 would be the year I take full advantage of life. I’m typically one who enjoys routine and find myself in…
