More Flavors from Wine Country

Today, I went for a short run before my skating session. The last few weeks, I’ve been treating these sessions like a workout: rolling out of the house without warming up or stretching. Running about 1.25 miles helped me get more into athlete mode when I stepped on the ice this morning.
And yesterday, I ran [...]

For the countdown, we’re going to Manhattan [...]

Most folks fuel up at the Vegas buffets….or sit around the tables and slot machines to get drink comps. I like making it through Vegas without pigging out at a buffet (which are getting more [...]
