There are many fun things I get to do because I want to have things to write about on this blog. I have dragged my husband, Bobby, to all kinds of new places and he has done the same to me (when there has been a dry spell with no new content). One of the best things I get to do is go to ice cream shops. But you better believe there is something a little bit special about visiting one that is owned by a family member. A couple of years ago, my parents visited my Aunt Pam in Florida. They … [Read more...]
Guy Fieri’s American Kitchen & Bar Goes Kaput; I might be to blame
My wife, Wendi, the founder of this blog, and I seem to have a negative effect on New York businesses. A year after we visited the Waldorf Astoria it closed. After we visited the famed Carnegie Deli it closed. We ate at Guy Fieri's American Kitchen & Bar, and now it has gone kaput. Where will it all end? Well, a little truth in advertising: The Waldorf Astoria closed for repairs (you can read about it here); I think the owner of the Carnegie Deli just wanted out of the business (you … [Read more...]
How Nikki the Kitty Aged 4 1/2 Years in 10 Minutes
I’m a dog that lives with a lot of cats. When I first moved into my forever home with my mom, Wendi, and my dad, Bobby, there were six cats that became my instant family.

Most were just older and as life goes, they … [Read more...]

Time is running out, and the question on everybody's mind (OK, maybe it's just us, but play along) is will the views on Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot in 2017 eclipse the numbers from 2016? Well, we are hoping the solar eclipse we observed this August in New York City will aid in those endeavors, but it will take this blog having its best month of the year. Will we succeed? Only time will tell, and you have a role. As regular readers know, Wendi, the founder of this blog, and I … [Read more...]
Finishing My Staycation Strong with Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I am a child of the 70's, so I have been around since the beginning of Star Wars. From the first time I saw the words "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." I have watched Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C3PO grow older. Along the way they added friends and family members to their story, as did I. The one constant with them is the fight between good and evil. I probably like it so much because good triumphs over evil -- eventually. My dad, Bud, and I went to watch the latest … [Read more...]
