Zappa Jag Zappa

It has been a while since I went on a Frank Zappa music jag.  The Zappa jag came over me the other night.  Actually morning would be more appropriate since it was about 2am with a headful of Jameson’s and other synaptic provocateurs motivating my search.  As I poked through my cd collection I stumbled on Zappa’s Joe’s Garage.  One of [...]

Lists

I decided today that I have too much to do.  I was exhausted by simply making a list of what needs to get done.  I am paralyzed into non-activity by all the activity I need to do.  I just can’t do it.  Well that’s not true.  I can do all of it if I really [...]

Cattle Call

I am sitting here at Bradley airport in Connecticut waiting for a delayed flight to leave to Philly.  I love delayed flights, it gives me more bar time.  Yee Ha!
So here I sit, at the bar, watching Family Feud for the first time in about 25 years.  The show still sucks really bad.  Sitting at [...]

GHD Conspiracy

I can barely contain my excitement as my favorite holiday of the year is this week, yes, I am talking about February 2nd, Groundhogs Day (GHD).  Oh, so it may also happen to my brothers birthday….how lucky to be born on such a great holiday.   It also happens to be a title of a wonderful movie starring [...]

Ramblings from the other side of the counter

As I quickly approach the second anniversary of restaurant ownership I continue to struggle to figure out what people really want.  Maybe it’s more me trying to figure out what I want.  Regardless, it gave me a moment to reflect on the past two years.  I got into this business by accident.  One of those great ideas on paper.  [...]

Weather or not

In New England it’s all about the weather.  OK I confess, I am a weather addict.  Must be a New England thing.  I may be the only person who had to put a parental block on the weather channel so I would stop watching it.  Here are a few links that help satisy my weather addiction:
