Wisconsin-palooza Day 3 was going to be a pretty slow day overall, since the only thing on our schedule was the Shania Twain concert that night. Saturday was such a gorgeous day that our plan was to do something fun outside on Sunday. We had discussed hanging out by the lake, or even renting a …
I’ve lost track of how often I get asked if my blog is limited to Stillwater. Let’s be honest…if that was the case, this blog would have ended 18 months ago. Since I moved here in 2007, Stillwater has added a lot of restaurants. But it’s still a small town and there is plenty of …
Just 2 blocks from the White House, Old Ebbitt Grill serves locally sourced food and wonderful ambiance in the heart of downtown Washington DC A few weeks ago I was back home in Maryland visiting family and friends. My friend Kara lives in North Carolina, but occasionally comes to town when I’m visiting. This was …
Pick savory or sweet…Wicked Waffle has both. But don’t ask for butter or syrup because you won’t get it. These amazing waffles are worth the visit. When I was a kid, we went to downtown DC all the time. Every time friends or family visited from out of town, DC it was. I swear I …

Most of my donor visits this year have been with club seat holders, but I have had a few meetings with suiteholders. This was the case Friday morning, when I met with a brand new client in Dallas. I figured since I was in Dallas anyway it would be a great opportunity to meet and …
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 …
The morning after the Houston caravan, the tire on my truck was soft again. Big surprise. So I stopped back at the Firestone place, they filled it with air, and told me I should be able to make it to Dallas. So I decided to grab some breakfast before I got on the road. JJ …
Friday morning in Houston I got up early and went running. Well my plan was to run, but even at 8am that humidity was absolutely oppressive so it was more of a run/power walk combo. The area where I went running had some incredibly beautiful and huge houses. I was kind of hoping to see …
When I’m out of town I don’t usually go out to eat for breakfast. Normally I’ll just eat something light at the hotel or skip breakfast all together, and then focus more on lunch and dinner. However, we got kind of a late start to the morning, and by the time we left the hotel …
