Golf Outing
I noticed a trend in how I spend most of my weekends lately. As the weather stays warm and sunny, I want to spend my off days outside as much as I can. Choosing what to do is often the hardest part. The day started with walking my basset hound, Red; he has his own yard but enjoys walks around the neighborhood, as he gets to smell new things and meet new people along the way.
Completing the Wine and Chocolate 5K Run
Last week marked the completion of another 5K race. This one was held in San Marco, a historic neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida. As the name suggests, this race, sponsored by Asics, celebrated wine and chocolate.
Wisconsin Badgers Softball
My buddy and I made a last-minute trip to Madison, Wisconsin, for collegiate softball. The Wisconsin Badgers hosted the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a Big Ten matchup. Big Ten rivalries are always a big deal.
Specialty Dining on Princess Cruises
One aspect of cruising that cruise lines put a lot of thought, effort and investment into is the culinary experience. The largest ships carry thousands of passengers, and menus must appeal to global palates and address dietary and cultural restrictions. In efforts to draw in a good share of the cruising population, cruise lines design unique dining spaces, hire celebrity chefs to headline specialty restaurants on board, and follow the latest trends regarding issues such as sustainable seafood and farm-to-table supply chains. On our winter cruise on Princess Cruises' Royal Princess to New Zealand, we used the benefits of our Princess Premier package to partake of several meals at the ship's specialty dining restaurants, in addition to the main dining rooms, included in the standard cruise fare, and some of the "casual" eateries.
My Favorite Spot in Moorestown
When not juggling the usual day-to-day chaos, there's one place I always find myself gravitating toward — Pie Lady Cafe, tucked right in the heart of Moorestown, New Jersey. It’s the kind of spot that has become a staple of the town. I’ve been a loyal customer for years, and honestly, it’s become more than just a café to me — it’s a little slice of home. And the vibe? It’s cozy, welcoming and somehow manages to make every customer feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time.
Adult Easter Egg Hunts
These days Easter egg hunts look a little different for my family, as all of us are over 21. We don’t hunt for eggs any more, but instead we hunt for our favorite beer, ciders or soda. This year I chose my favorite cider, Downeast, while my brothers hunted for their favorite beers and my cousin and her boyfriend searched for their favorite sodas.
Lucy Dacus at The Met
Lucy Dacus, indie rocker and member of three-piece supergroup boygenius, kicked off the tour for her new album in Philadelphia on April 16. My girlfriend, Brena, and I were lucky enough to be in attendance for the opening show at The Met, an ornate and stunning venue. Brena and I have both been Dacus fans for years, and the last time we saw her solo was in 2022 when she was touring her third album Home Video and before Brena and I even knew each other. We saw her together as part of boygenius when the band toured in 2023, but a solo Dacus show is always special, and we had been waiting for this for a long time.
Cruising Fiordland National Park
Although our final port on our New Zealand cruise on Princess Cruises' Royal Princess last December was Dunedin, we weren't quite done with the country when we sailed out of port that day. No, fortunately we had a full day to enjoy scenic cruising in stunning Fiordland National Park. The park, which was officially created in 1952 (though a large chunk of it was set aside in 1904), covers nearly 5 percent of New Zealand's area and inhabits the far southwestern quadrant of South Island. Its name and a quick glance at a map give you good hints as to its topography and outstanding features. Deeply cut by steep fiords (as they spell them here) dominated by tall peaks, this stunning landscape was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986 and attracts adventurers for its renowned longer tracks (hiking trails) and fishing. The Māori say it was formed by a demigod from shapeless rock, while a more scientific and less romantic explanation says glaciers which covered the area 2 million years ago carved its fiords and u-shaped valleys. We found our cruise ship offered a great way to view these features as we sailed in and out of three of the park's 14 West Coast fiords.
