Tennis, Pickleball, Pizza, Red Wine and friends these are a few of my favourite things. Welcome to my small space on the internet. Come stay a while.
What day is it? My wife asked me earlier in the week to join an online web call for Ms Sarah’s school and so last night at the dinner table she asked “How was the call?”. And I told her that the call is scheduled for tomorrow - Friday. She politely reminded me that today was Friday. Oops. So, I guess I missed the call.
If your photographs could talk what sort of story would they tell? You did stand there with your old camera or your phone and snapped away. Yep - you now have seventeen pictures of the Empire State building.
So what is Eataly? According to their website the first location opened in Torino Italy on January 27, 2007, by its creator Oscar Farinetti with the idea that it be much more than a store. He wanted to create a school, a market, a table to gather around, a place to learn about food and, through food, about life. Sounds quite noble. There are now 40 locations across the world.
Within the family dynamic it’s interesting to see the changes. I’ve had dinner with my daughter for 7 nights in a row and I simply can’t remember when that last happened.
The new normal is nothing but normal. Read how I make way through these challenging times of a different routine.
Living in the Madison Avenue lofts feels like living in a loft in SOHO in New York. Great restaurants, coffee shops, parks and TTC are at your footsteps.
The new normal is not normal. The Covid virus is changing the way we interact and it will impact us for quite some time.
This post won’t tell you anything new or different? The reality is that the world we are living in is fluid and in constant flux. The Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is here and every day we see more and more challenges in our personal life.
A few months back I had heard about this new “fitness” club and it sounded very interesting. One of my favourite websites https://www.blogto.com/fitness/sweat-and-tonic-toronto/ had done a thorough review. Since I do have time (that’s another story), I decided to check it out.
One of the hottest restaurants in the “Six” is a new place called https://www.gusto501.com/ and I’ve been keeping my eye on it trying to find the right time to go. We’ve tried to go to the mother ship - Gusto 101 but it has never worked out because when we’ve gone it’s been too busy with a long wait. I still want to get there though. When I read about the new location and looked at the reviews, I knew that it was a place I wanted to try.
Everything from Chicago to New York, I take you down my favourite list of pizza joints. From local to famous one of a kind Pizzerias.
In the classic Billy Joel song the writer uses these poignant words “But I’m taking a greyhound on the Hudson river line, I’m in a New York state of mind. Every-time I hear those words, I am reminded of the wonderful visits I have had and usually around now, I clearly want to be in a “New York State of Mind.”
Yep, the Broadway hit musical Hamilton has finally arrived with over 50,000 tickets sold in the opening days according to the Toronto Star. The planned run for the show is not that long - February 11 to May 17th and early reviews of the Toronto roadshow have been very positive. Here’s what I loved about this one of a kind show!
I think I’ve always been preoccupied with staying fit whether it came from playing tennis, running, swimming or any other interesting activity. And, as I have gotten older, I’ve become more aware of the need to stay fit. Both physically and mentally.
My current favorite activity is using the Peloton App for beginners
