How do you measure your childhood? By counting your friends? By the number of cool toys you had? By how many fun places you’ve visited? How about how dirty you were, everyday when you got home from your adventures? I like that last one. It’s how I measure some of my childhood. My younger days […]
Burger Lounge
Ever since my mom worked at McDonald’s when I was in high school (ages ago), I’ve always loved burgers. However, I’d like to think that my culinary taste for burgers have since evolved and become more sophisticated since my “Mickey-Dees” days. I don’t think I’ll ever be ordering a Big Mac anytime soon, if it […]

Just Beachy
Summer is in full swing, here in Southern California. You’ll find most of us down by the beach side when we’re not at work. The beach is always at least 20 degrees cooler than everywhere else. For me, that means a beautiful 80 degrees (F) instead of a sweltering 100+ degrees! Believe it or not, […]
