I love the smell of espresso in the morning! The Nespresso is working out quite well. No mess, no fuss. And all of these colored pods? I just go with black, a 10 on the scale of darkness. ...

Good morning, and once again come join me with some no-holds-barred conversation over espresso. Please ignore the mooing cows.

Same as last week. The only difference this time is I’m drinking the strong stuff thanks to Nespresso. It saves ...

You know the expression, if you want to get a point across you need to make it three times? Or something like that. Don’t forget: Sunday morning, over espresso I must remind you anything I say here must ...

If ever a world existed with no espresso bean, it would be no place for me. I don’t think even a two-fer of Diet Coke could substitute. A Nespresso machine is on the way. As much as I ...

Good morning espresso lovers, chatters. It’s Super Sunday, and I think I only watched one game the entire season. A playoff game as a matter of fact just a few weeks back. My favorite two sports, NHL and ...

We had a great holiday up in Canada over Christmas. I was reminded once again that a Harvey’s hamburger is a beautiful thing. Take that In-N-Out burger. There’s a reason why NHL players flock to the place, commandeering ...

It’s that time of year. We reflect. Enjoy the company of family and friends. And potentially reflect more, with an eggnog hangover.

Soon I’ll enjoy a white Christmas as we head North for our annual Canadian trek. It’s a ...

For some crazy reason I thought things around here might slow down, every so slightly, with the holiday season in full swing. Instead, our calendar of events, interviews, reviews and shenanigans around town has taken on a Santa ...

Call me soft, but it’s December, and finally I can stream some Xmas tunes through the house. Much to Loni’s chagrin. She’d rather hear danceable, radio fluff like Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. Yes, I know, you’ve probably ...
