Tunes For Tuesday (70's Edition) – Boz Scaggs
Image: Ferrari + caballos + fuerza = cerebro Humano
I’m absolutely showing my age with this Boz Scaggs song. My friend’s older brother played this album a lot when I was young and I’ll let you know that I never paid attention then but the strange name always stuck with me. As I got older and attempted to expand my musical appreciation beyond 80’s New Wave, I gave this song another listen and now, it’s a staple on my running playlists.

A Wild Goose Chase For Chicago's Best Pair – Chocolate & Beer
A girl born on Valentine’s Day has the love of chocolate in her blood, right? Yup and when given the recent opportunity to attend a Beer + Chocolate tasting event with two Chicago based taste sensations Wild Ophelia (the newest offering from my favorite chocolatier Vosges Haut-Chocolat) and Goose Island Beer, I couldn’t have said yes any faster!

#Secret Vacation Dinner At Bottega Napa Valley
I’ve been a little slow with the continuation of the story from my #secretvacation but I apologize (yes, it was urgent to address that Simon Le Bon shaved LeStache, then it was Tunes For Tuesday and Workout Wednesdays so finally, we can get on with the rest of the story…).
If you didn’t hear, I went on a #secretvacation a few weeks ago up the coast of California to surprise my friend Susie for her second 39th birthday in Napa Valley (aka Wine Country!). If you didn’t read about my impromptu 5K run in San Francisco and want evidence that I nearly bumped into Susie and her husband Keith the day before the big birthday surprise in Napa, here you go:
The 2 people I’m NOT supposed to see in San Fran – my friends!

Tunes For Tuesday – (70's Edition) – Fleetwood Mac
Image: Ferrari + caballos + fuerza = cerebro Humano
Welcome to another edition of Tunes For Tuesday (70’s Edition) and today’s artist is Fleetwood Mac with “Second Hand News”. This was one of the first songs I placed on my running playlist and now every time I hear it I can see myself on the first slope on the approach of the Brooklyn Bridge.
I wasn’t always a FM fan but then I saw them in concert a few years ago and they blew me away. […]
