I have tons of reasons to like McDonald’s. McCafé is one more. There isn’t any information about it on the web site, so it must be a limited test in the Chicago area. The idea is that McDonald’s is rolling out the espresso machines… Continue Reading “McCafé”
About five minutes after I posted that I had no use for electronic books, it was Christmas morning and my brother gifted me with a Kindle. I took it with me to San Antonio and here are some early thoughts: First. $9.99 is more… Continue Reading “Kindle”

My first ever facial was at Mario Tricoci. I had won a raffle or something. I remember it as a great experience, where I learned a whole lot about taking care of my skin. I have had something like three facials a year since… Continue Reading “At the Spa – Mario Tricoci”
I walked over to Wendy’s for lunch, but the line was headed out the door. Crossed the street to that Italian place it found it had closed. I didn’t feel like hiking to Corner Bakery on the off chance there was a table available… Continue Reading “Lunch at Starbucks”
There is this new sandwich place in the Glen Town Center that my mother had been hearing raves about and yesterday, since I had eaten Noodles & Company for three meals in a row, I tried it. Chop it Up, on Tower Road, it… Continue Reading “Chop it Up”
