I have a lot of great ideas never reach fruition for the simple reason that I fail or forget to take note so that they can be executed at a later time. This includes ideas for blogging.

Sometimes You Just Luck Out It is one thing to choose a restaurant for the first time sans prior knowledge of its food as you’re walking past.

It is quite another to sit amidst boxes in your new apartment, in your new neighborhood and, desperate for nourishment, google for local fare when there really aren’t many sites wit
