When I was building my bucket lists last year, I thought about but did not create a restaurant bucket list. On a recent troll through my archives, I found two restaurant bucket lists from years past (now tagged as such), specifically 2013 and 2014. I guess this just reinforces that with 1800+ posts as of this writing, many pre-dating tags, there's ( Read more... )

As part of my ongoing resolution to generate ideas of what I'd like to do, here's a list of musicians I'd like to see live at some point. I've long had a " top 3" list, so consider this more of an outgrowth of that effort than something new. I've tried to limit this to the highest priority musicians, since the list of people I want to see is ( Read more... )

I'm not sure this quite the bucket list stuff I had in mind in my resolution, but here's a list of stuff to do to my house. Some were more M's idea than mine. It should also be noted that I did at most two of the things from the last time I did a list like this for my house. I'll try to keep this to small obtainable things instead of giant items.

Last year's resolutions are summarized, so it's time to create some new ones for 2018. This year I've got four.

1. Stay SmallerLast year I went from 232 to 206. Dieting is easy. Sustaining weight loss in the long term is harder, and although I've kept it off since August, five months isn't very much in the big scheme of things. This means that I'm ( Read more... )

Last summer Dr. I and I put together a list of places in Cleveland we wanted to try. I've made surprising progress on this list. In fact, I knocked off virtually everything in the high priority category. Here's an update.

Crossed Off Since Last TimeCrop - Dr. I and I went there this past spring. The architecture is almost cooler than the food. My ( Read more... )

My streak of new-to-me restaurants continues. I hit up Los Habaneros with my cousin on May 25. As the name implies it was Mexican cuisine. It seemed pretty authentic to me; the menu was very similar to a local favorite in Phoenix, the waiters didn't really know English, and the chile relleno was excellent ( Read more... )
