FAVOURITE WHISKY OF 2018

January 9, 2019.Reading time 18 minutes.

By Ken These are my favourite bottles of whisky that I enjoyed throughout 2018. No particular order, no restrictive price range, not even any particular country of origin! I’m not an expert, I just know what I like. I’m certainly not an expert either on discerning, nor describing, aromas, flavors, or any of that artsy-fartsy […]

🐊 GATORLAND 🐊 !!!!!!!

December 22, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

We were recently down in Orlando for a wedding and the whole time we were there, Ken was constantly checking out even the smallest puddle, hoping to see an alligator. Alas, there were none to behold, and so, upon reaching our last day down there, and having a few hours to spare between checking out […]

Edinburgh – August 2018 pt.2/3

November 25, 2018.Reading time 36 minutes.

We know what you’re thinking. 3 days spent in the very capital of Scotland already, and not a word about kilts, haggis, castles, tartan, or Loch Ness, right? (If you missed it, or just need a recap, you can jump over to Part 1, here.) Well, it’s not like we weren’t seeing any of those […]

This post would’ve been a comparative taste test of 2 different brands of Cheese Curls, but one of us (and she will not be named!) ate the whole bag of one of the competing brands, so that can’t happen now! Instead, we will just have to post our first post on the subject of ‘Local […]

Saturday, Sept. 8th, we went (for our third time) to this upstate NY event. This year, unlike our previous visits, we went with a more methodical approach to the venture. 1. We would be VERY selective with regards to any & all purchases made 2. We would take empty backpacks for our purchases, to negate […]

Edinburgh – August, 2018 pt.1/3

September 15, 2018.Reading time 11 minutes.

THE FLIGHT – Thankfully, the flight (on Delta Airlines) wasn’t fully booked, and so, as soon as the door was closed, we were able to spread out a bit in the seats – a nice blessing when you’re on a 6 hour flight in Coach/Economy! Then, even before taxiing out to the flight-line for takeoff, […]

Kens Photowalk #1 – Lower Manhattan Street Art

August 6, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

Those who know me, know I love taking photographs. I’m not an expert, don’t think of myself as an expert, and – at my age – realize it may be too late to ever become one. But, I do love photography. I love that it takes me outside of the day-to-day – the trials & […]
