We had a blast in Carlsbad , CA last year . We woke up everyday with agreat view of the Pacific and it’s Ocean Breezes .  We toured all over town and enjoyed as many Local Restaurants as we could . On one of our stops,the server recommended a Pinot Grigio to us , Terra Alpina by Alois Lageder . We immediately moved it into one of our favorites .     Upon returning home to Pennsylvania, finding our next Bottle wasn’t going to be easy . You see the State (PA) controls 90% of Liquor Sales, and run what are known as State Stores . Your choice can be very limited . We live within an hour to DE and have visited two Total Wines .They always have what we are looking for .      This Summer I got even luckier while shopping at Circle Liquor Storein Somers Point, NJ.  There it was and price b... 01/15/2023

I'm shocked and dazed at the news that the legendary David Bowie passed away yesterday. He had been fighting cancer for the last 18 months...Some of the greatest music of my life time, mostly during my teen years, was all Bowie. Bowie broke some of the craziest rules and boundaries in rock and roll. I remember the first time I saw him doing Ziggy Stardust. The flaming red spiky hair, the eyeliner, the glitter, we all thought he was a nutcase,lol! But the music was amazing. Back in the eighties, in the beginning years of MTV, his number one hits included "Fame," my personal favorite, "Let's Dance,""Blue Jean," "Heroes..." "Fame" was a bit earlier, but just as awesome.Bowie, por Bryan Duffy, 1973 I went to see Bowie during the Glass Spider tour, and it was absolutely the most incredible c... 01/10/2016

So, you've found the perfect house. You think. But you're just not sure...   So you go out with an agent to look at more houses, but none compare to THE house. So then you're thinking well, it's been a while, maybe they'll drop the price on the house, let's wait another week.   A week goes by, the price doesn't drop and you decide to make your move. You go to call the agent to say, "Okay, we're READY!  Let's DO THIS!!!"   Your agent calls you back, only to tell you that the house is under contract, but not with you. Its under contract with another buyer.   We've all been there. As a buyer, it bites.  As an agent, it really bites!  What's the comeback for that?                                                     If you liked it then you should have put a bid on it!   As a buyer, you 2nd,... 01/05/2016

   So the old saying goes that dogs are a man's best friend. Well, they may be, but not if you're looking to rent a place to live. In the age of foreclosures and short sales, this has become a prevalent problem. When people call looking for rentals, they will answer every question that you ask them, and then when you say ask do you have a pet, they tap dance around the topic...  Then the conversation goes like this:    "Well, I have a dog."     I ask, "What kind of dog."    "It's a mix."   "Well, what kind of mix?"    "If I knew what kind of a mix it was, I guess I'd be able to tell you."   To which is them to text me a picture. (Yes, I am an insane lover of dogs, and I can probably tell you what breed it is) At this point, they start to squirm. One actually said, "I have a terrier."  T... 01/01/2016

It's a Universal Language :0)   So I got to go to see my 8 year old's Holiday Concert yesterday, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders.  Things have changed a lot since we were in school.  Going to Catholic school, everything was Christmas.  Art, music, decorations, EVERYTHING.   Fast forward to today.  My boy was practicing songs at home that I had never heard, or heard of.  I was asking him what he was singing, and he proceeded to explain what each song was, and which religion it was associated with.  I gotta tell you, he knows WAAAAAYYYY more than I ever did, lol!   The GREATEST thing about kids is that they all believe (unless raised otherwise) that we're all the same.  We're just, well, PEOPLE.  I have raised my son that way.  Belly buttons, tongues, boo boos, we're all the same.  The range of ... 12/23/2015
