Friends + fun + run = Nashville 2008. It was the first group trip Jen and I had been on in a while, and the first with our Saratoga posse. Eight of us headed to Music City for a long weekend, and four of us ran in the Nashville Country Music 1/2 Marathon. It was […]

We had a pretty awesome weekend, including the first Gaffney’s patio happy hour of the season; a (daring) stop at the new Liberty Bell Cheesesteak; a girls’ breakfast in the beautiful sunshine Saturday morning (yes, I was invited as an honorary attendee); a walk around downtown on a sunny Sunday afternoon, including lunch at Lillian’s; […]

Though my 30th birthday party set the party bar pretty high, this year was also pretty freakin’ awesome. Jen masterminded yet another great event — the Wine Snob Smackdown ’08 — this time pairing 7 wines with 7 cheeses and challenging party-goers to a blind taste test. Rather than asking everyone to bring the usual […]

On Saturday I ran my longest run to date: Nearly 17 miles. I only stopped for two brief refueling breaks. I felt great at the end. Alex and I had a greasy diner breakfast following the run, then I cruised home and spent the afternoon doing a few hours of yard work. Later that afternoon, […]

The competition was tough and our casserole didn’t take top honors that night — some might argue because it was so good, no one really […]

Last Saturday morning Jen and I woke up bright ‘n early and had a really great outing in downtown Saratoga. We started the morning with a pleasant breakfast and some delicious eats (quiche, coffee, apple tarts) at the delectable Mrs. London’s, which was recently featured in USA Today as having “artisan breads (that) have long […]

The last meeting of the Saratoga Wine Club was in November, so we were overdue. Sarah and Eric stepped up to the plate to host their second consecutive rockin’ wine club, which doubled as a send-off for founding club member Brian, who’s moving to San Francisco. Jen and I took the opportunity to present Brian […]

Movies, more snow, taxes 2007, and running. That’s pretty much what sums up mine and Jen’s past weekend. Friday night we rented a couple movies and watched the first one that night: Eagle vs. Shark. It was a cute New Zealand flick about a shy girl who falls for a dorky guy. There were some […]
