shoe full o’ peanuts

Oh, it’s the time of year for beer and peanuts galore! Last night I went to the Pirates vs. Cubs game at Wrigley Field. It was my second baseball outing of the season– both of which have been quite chilly and unfortunately filled with Porta Potties (due to ongoing construction at Wrigley). Sporting events are the…

everybody’s talkin’ about Air Max Day…

In 1987 the Nike Air Max was born (in good company– I’m an ’87 baby myself). This beautiful sneaker, padded with a comfy cushion of air is one of my favorite types of shoes. It’s a relaxed style that also gives a good inch of a boost to all of those who like a little…

a trip to Syracuse

I just got back from a quick trip tp Syracuse, New York. Not too much to report. It’s a small-feeling town surrounded by a good bit of nature. A few fall leaves were still hanging around, but for the most part, winter has already taken its first breath. I’ve been scouring the internet trying to…

we’re going to Nashville!

The city of Nashville and what is considered to be “music country” is located in the north central region of Tennessee, nestled into the Cumberland River. It has a sweet skyline and the downtown area is easy to get around on foot. If you travel down Broadway towards the river, you’ll hear live country music pouring out…
