MSN’s Travel section had an article about how Virgin Airlines is “advocating a return to civility” in flight. I thought, “Finally, someone is going to shut these whiners up”. I am no Million Mile passenger, but I fly regularly. I make a conscious effort… Continue Reading “Airplane Etiquette”
Half the state was at my brother’s house this weekend. Friday night we celebrated my nephew and my father’s birthdays by having dinner at Lou Malnati’s. Pizza is one of the three foods that Alex really likes and Malnati’s is all Dad wants when… Continue Reading “Birthdays and Christenings”

You provide your own toppings. I just used cheese and turkey pepperoni. The… Continue Reading “Eloise, Shadow and the Pizza”
