Hunger Action Month and Taste of the Browns Recap
I have to confess that Sunday’s Browns opener left me conflicted. Raised a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I was torn over whether to cheer for the team I grew up watching or the underdogs I’ve learned to love since moving to Cleveland (in the end, I choo-choo-chose the Browns). But while the Browns may have ultimately lost on Sunday, they won my heart when leading […]
Pandemonium: Building CPT's House of Dreams
On Saturday night, Scott and I went on an unexpected adventure when Cleveland Public Theatre hosted their annual benefit and awards party. What followed was the most unusual and remarkable party I’ve been to since moving to Cleveland. Part Fringe festival / part dance-party-on-your-last-night-on-earth, simply – and literally – put it was…
"See you in September" – Farewell, Summer 2012
With the exception of Saturday’s epic dinner at Greenhouse and a short stop by the Horseshoe Casino, Scott and I spent the long Labor Day weekend relaxing at home. While we tinkered with projects around the house and enjoyed a walk down to the lake, the unofficial end of summer…

Greenhouse Tavern: That's "SOME PIG"!
Every year, Scott and I treat each other to one very splurge-worthy dinner – bottle of wine, full meal, dessert. And because we both love our Cleveland restaurants, deciding where we’re going for these birthday dinners is usually a point of lengthy debate. However, this year I’ve known where I wanted to go…

A Birthday Wish: Let's Build a Tesla Museum!
Yesterday I welcomed in my thirties with some crab-eating, bowling, and movies with my family. I’ve got to say, I’m pretty happy for making it this far and surviving thirty years (I tend to be disaster-prone). And although it’s no longer my birthday, I’m going to be self-indulgent one last time and…
Guest Post: What Not to Buy in Cleveland
Today’s the last day of my twenties and I plan on spending it doing nothing except sitting by the water and maybe eating some fresh crabs. Hopefully, I’ll get the rest and relaxation I need because once we get home we’ll be busier than usual playing host to a few out-of-town family and friends throughout September. Thankfully, Julie is here today […]
