Rain, it feels good. All right, we’ll do rain today. Those people on vacation at the beach need to have a Scrabble game going, or find a few great movies to watch, or get a party going and have people bring whatever they want. Nothing else said, anything they want to bring is fine-a couple [...]
When I’m at a loss as to what to have for dinner, or when it’s a lazy evening, or if I’m a guest somewhere, and happen to be the designated cook, and if no one’s craving a hearty meal, then it’s frittata night. Yeah! If the right ingredients are in the fridge, then it’s an [...]

I find it hard to believe that I hadn’t been to Philadelphia until this past weekend. It’s a wonderful city. And it’s easy to navigate many of the neighborhoods by foot. My cousin Norm, cousin-in-law Pat, and I stayed at Courtyard by Marriott at 21 N. Juniper Street. It was a good choice. We arrived [...]
