Eat. Drink. Live.
A rainy day. So we set about a puzzle, go out to lunch, have cocktails and, in the end, go crazy with a Dance Party USA. That’s how you do rainy at the beach. Blue margaritas. This was a lobster […]

The annex to the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia — technically called the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center — is, in this one amateur’s opinion, even better than the original on the mall in DC! The space shuttle discovery […]

Traveling back from DC to Newark Penn, I had a few minutes to spare while waiting for my ride. What a gorgeous old bird this place is. Astrological signs, just like in Grand Central. Old wooden benches. Such hope and […]
The presentation has been written and rehearsed. The Power Point has been tweaked and perfected. After months of work, it’s time to present our Innovation Lab project, Destinate. Heading down to DC — a case of hard apple cider packed in […]
