I waste no time in attacking my New Year’s resolutions list for 2012. I know that I am supposed to be eating healthier and working out more, along with everyone else. Frankly, I find these kind of resolutions boring and easily broken. There are more important resolutions to attend to, namely my dining to do […]
Eat, Blog, Repeat: A Review of 2011 & a Look Ahead
January 4, 2012 · by · 2 Comments
Blogging ate up a great deal of my time in 2011. I became acutely aware of this during a recent conversation at work. My colleagues were commenting on the fact that I don’t watch as much television as I used to and am therefore unable to keep up with some of the lunchtime conversation about […]

December 22, 2011 · by · 1 Comment
JACKIE’S IS CLOSED. I have lived in Silver Spring, Maryland for more than 35 years. I didn’t realize this until just now when I stopped to add up the number. It is actually disturbing to me on some level, as it’s a lot of years in one place. But it is what it is. My […]
