Naughty? Nice? Let MC be the judge … 2009 in Review
Was this a year, or what? I’m a huge fan of settling down on New Year’s Eve, putting on my retro shades, and looking back at the crazy, sweet, and just plain foolish shenanigans of the prior 12 months. And this December 31st will find me, a shot of Sambucca at my side, staring out […]

Sarasota County — A+ in responsiveness
You know me — always (or at least usually) complaining in some form about errant Police Chiefs and odd goings on in connection with acquisition of parcels for big league baseball … yada yada yada. But I have to give credit where/when credit is due. And yesterday — it was due to Sarasota County. Below […]
