And when you can clean those messes up with a swipe of a towel, it becomes no big deal. So when companies like ORA Kitchen Towels suggest that they can make cleanup easier and […]
Grilling Is Hot, And Additional, Permanent Grills Are Needed To Keep Up With The Trend
How important is it for a facility to provide permanent grills for public use? Just ask the experts. “It’s part of the American identity to have a grill,” says IBISWorld, a global intelligence business leader specializing in Industry Market Research.

Grillin’ On the Go.
Sometimes, well, you just have to get out. Call it spring fever, or more appropriately cabin fever. No big plans, but just goin’ with the gut feeling and getting out. So off I was, headin’ down the road, just enjoying the scenery when it happened. That familiar aroma. Like the sweet siren’s song of Greek mythology, […]
On The Wings Of Time, A Story of Hope
My time was no longer my own. The minutes were seemingly always pledged to another, that being my “work”. These minutes rolled into the passing hours, many of them considered extra hours. Those hours, left to their own accord, piled into days, which transformed into weeks, and well, you know the rest.

And it wore on me.
Grilled Bat Wings, Scream Beans, Dancing Spirits Peppers: Black Market Barbecue

“Pssst. Hey you.” The voice from the shadows of the garage was shadowy and intimidating. It was a sketchy figure, in a dark bulky overcoat. I couldn’t see his face because of the shadow cast from his fedora. “Who. Me?”, I asked, turning a finger towards my chest. “Do you see anybody else? Com’ere”, he said, […]

Wait. What? My Daughter Got Married?
It didn’t really hit me until the drive to the wedding venue, The Piper Palm House in Tower Grove Park. I mean, yeah, we had an excellent photography team, Vaeth Photography, following our every move in the morning. In our house, out the back door, in the backyard, just about everywhere. But it was no […]
