  This year has been a blast! This year has been very different from the last thirty something years before.  In an effort to reflect on an amazing year, here are my top ten memories of 2011. And a few honorable mentions. 1. Game Seven of the World Series: One minute you are mopping water in [...]

  December 26, 2011 in Adventures

  The holidays are about visiting family and friends while celebrating the birth of little baby Jesus. Part of that celebration is eating good food.
