The delicious food at Hefner Grill in OKC is topped only by the gorgeous views of Lake Hefner. You’ll keep going back for more. One of the biggest perks of my job is meeting so many wonderful people. The challenge, however, is that I only see most donors on gameday, so I don’t get to know …
Last week I had lunch with a donor couple in Stillwater. They had originally recommended Panera Bread, but that’s just kind of boring for me. So I tossed out a number of other recommendations, and they came back with The Rancher’s Club. I haven’t been there in forever, so I agreed. I honestly never remember …
Last week I had several appointments with club seat holders in Tulsa, but nobody scheduled for lunch. I didn’t realize that until 2 days before, so I asked my friend Shawn if he wanted to meet up. We hadn’t seen each other for a while, so he agreed. I went back to my trusty list …
Last week I had a lunch appointment with a club seat holder couple. They recommended Tucker’s Onion Burgers. Normally if the suggestion is a place I’ve been before I’ll ask for something different. But my last trip to Tucker’s was the new location on Classen Blvd; this one was at the original location. How can …
I got off-track and behind on my posts. I actually wrote up a couple of posts on the plane heading to Vegas last weekend. But between having to do 4 Vegas posts (including the drama of the deleted Viva Las Vegas post), plus The Week That Was that ended up being a day late, plus …
I had a last-minute lunch scheduled with a donor last Tuesday. It’s in Owasso, which is about 10 miles west of Tulsa. I’ve never been to Owasso, and so I went online to research restaurants. I tossed out a few options to Steve, and he picked Trails End BBQ. Honestly it wouldn’t have been my …
Huge portions and fabulous food await you at Hash House a Go Go on the Vegas strip. But get there early, or be prepared for a long wait. Last weekend I went to Vegas for a quick weekend whirlwind group trip. We had a group of 7, which is kind of a big group, but we …
A full pound of lobster in every roll? Fabulous lobster at a food court? Spiked lemonade? Yes, yes and yes!! All that and more at Lobster Me. Last weekend I did a quick weekend trip to Vegas with a group of friends. There were 7 of us in the group, which is kind of big, but we had …
Owned by Celebrity Chef Emeril Lagasse, Lagasse’s Stadium serves up delicious food and has a fabulous atmosphere for watching games when you’re in Vegas. This past weekend I went to Vegas for a quick group trip. We ran into some drama on the way to the airport, as I realized 20 minutes into the drive that …
Las Vegas has it all: restaurants, casinos, shows, shopping, sightseeing. Sin City is a fabulous place to visit, and you’ll be hooked after your first trip. My great friends Michele and Reilly go to Las Vegas very often. Reilly’s company is headquartered there, so convenience is one reason they go. But more importantly, they go because …
Last weekend, OSU was one of the host sites for the NCAA baseball regionals. The other teams in the bracket were Arkansas, Oral Roberts, and St. John’s. I volunteered at the media/staff hospitality tent on Friday, but the rest of the weekend I was a fan. We won our game Friday night, so we weren’t …
Last Saturday I went to a wedding in Oklahoma City. My co-worker Tia said “I do” with her soul mate Chico. The weather didn’t really cooperate, but I’ve heard that a rainy wedding day is a good sign. It didn’t rain during the ceremony, but the skies opened up during the reception. Our cell phones …
Last night was A Stately Affair, a black-tie OSU event in Tulsa that recognizes icons for OSU in Tulsa. This is the 3rd year of the event, and the first time I’ve ever attended. It was an outstanding evening, raising over $600,000 for scholarships for OSU-Tulsa. It was held at Southern Hills Country Club. It …
Ever since I got involved with the Creative Bloggers Network, I’ve been trying to upgrade my blog. I still have a LONG way to go, since many of my colleagues do this for a living. And mine is just a side job…for now. I recently went back through every post, double-checking links, updating pictures, etc. …
Last night was Preakness, so of course I had to have a party. Preakness is the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown of horse racing. When I was in my 20’s and living in Maryland, we went to Preakness every year for like 5 years, in the infield. It was a huge party. It still …
