Spring break, the kids are home for a seemingly endless amount of time and I’ve run out of things to do with them around town. Then I remember that Manhattan is in our backyard (a mere 33 miles away) and that there is plenty to do there! After ...

John McGill, our waiter, future Frank Sinatra. "Chances Are....'Cuz I Wear a Silly Grin, the Moment You Come Into View..." (O.K., O.K., I know, that's Johnnie Mathis). I would never had the opportunity to meet this charismatic "down home" boy from...
