After stumbling your way around the planet for several decades you eventually come to realize one very important aspect of life: Experience is just as valuable as formal education. Nothing beats being in the trenches. And although good leaders instinctively strive for improvement, great leaders know the real value of a hard-fought, rocky journey. Every […]

Grocery Delivery Service Park City Style
“I call it coupon karma,” says Stacey of Stacey’s Grocery Services. “I give my customers the same deals I like.” Most of her clients are tourists who want their vacation homes food-ready when they arrive, although she shops for many local families, as well. In either case, Stacey and her team buy local and organic whenever possible, but still save wherever they can, all while offering special touches like putting avocados in a paper bag with an apple so they ripen overnight, or separating bananas so they last longer.
Sundance Film Festival, a Local’s POV
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and if that’s the case I hope you’ve missed me enough to be happy that I’m back to blogging again. It’s been several weeks since we last chatted, and lots has happened since then: My son went back to the University of Miami after going to Cuba […]
Trophy Wife Wisdom
The other night I went to a summer soiree in Deer Valley with a friend. It was the kind of eclectic socio-economic shindig at which couples (ranging from ski bums to high tech CEO’s) get together and drink expensive wine that the hosts picked up while passing through the Rhone Valley on their way to […]
Hello, It’s Me (the Accident Waiting to Happen)
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but I have a very good reason for that. On two separate occasions, within a month of each other, I fell and tore (not pulled) both of my hamstrings. Oh, and I somehow messed up my shoulder in my second fall, too. So for the last two […]
DMV Madness on a Monday
On Monday my 15-year-old son and I headed to the DMV in Heber for the SECOND time. The kid wants his driving permit, and frankly I’m ready to have him cart me around like Cinderella in a pumpkin carriage. Once my 18-year-old went off to college I lost not only my chauffer, but also my […]
Dueling Cheese and The Riff’s Radio Hour
Dueling Cheese. Sounds like what you’d get if KC and the Sunshine Band opened for the Captain and Tennille at a fondue supper club. On bellbottom jean night. In Cincinnati. With Tony Bennett as a special guest. Although that’d be friggin’ awesome (BTW, if even part of that ever happens, I’m all in), that’s not […]
Graduating Back to College
Well, I did it. I took my kid to college and left him there. To get over it I’m now hanging out in the West Indies like some hippy-dippy nomad, meditating alone on a deserted beach, and drowning my sorrows in rum and various fresh fruit juices. All seems apropos to me. Before I got […]
Celebrity People Watching in Park City
I’ve made no secret that I’m a voyeur of society. And somehow I’ve managed to eke out a living documenting my twisted, yet entertaining, POV on the cyber pages of this blog. Even though I feel anyone who ventures outside their home is fair game for some serious scrutiny, the best kind of people watching […]
Park City Arts Festival Stuff I Need
One of the great things about living in Park City is that cool events take place right here in my hometown, but I don’t have to travel to them. Next one coming up? Park City Arts Festival, which happens every year the first weekend in August. This year it’s August 2, 3, and 4. Like […]
