California Pizza Kitchen, Boston, MA USA

Boylston street was closed in Boston. What a nightmare. We were trying to make it from Brookline to Boston’s Theater District to celebrate Rachel’s grandmother’s 90th birthday, and all we could find was roadblocks followed by traffic. Make a U turn, find the same thing. I put my drivers cap on and meandered around Beacon […]

Au Bon Pain, Dallas Airport (DFW), TX USA

Out of a combination of boredom and hope, […]

The Café, Taj Hotel, Boston, MA USA

Finishing up the work week enjoying lunch with my grandmother – the plan sounded perfect for a Friday afternoon. Yaya, as we call her, was visiting for the month from Palm Beach and staying at the Taj Hotel in Boston on Arlington Street. Due to my traveling, I hadn’t seen her for over a year, so it […]
