vegas, revisited.
For the most part, I’ve done a terrific job at keeping what happened in Vegas a mystery. That’s standard protocol, right? Here’s the truth: I haven’t really written about Vegas because, honestly, not that much happened. One would think a wino experiencing Vegas for the first time would come home with copious stories of overindulgence and irresponsible decisions. But let’s remember: this was a business trip, which meant my normal travel habits were put to the test. Instead of regaling you with stories of what happened (or lack thereof), I decided I’d share with you the two very important lessons…

foods of new york: eating our way through the west village
Now that the countdown is on until the romantic says au revoir to New York (and the wino is teetering on severe depression), we’ve been trying to cram in all the Big Apple fun we can manage. One thing the romantic will miss most about New York? The food. We know where to get the best bagel, the best slice of pizza, the cheapest Pad Thai, and the Chinese that comes with free wine (that’s a real thing). Though foodie adventures are sure to abound around the world, there’s just something about a city that offers freshly baked cookies delivered…
