Mani-Pedi’s While You Wait

We all hate waiting. Waiting in traffic, waiting in line at the grocery store, waiting for a connecting flight at an airport. In this day of 'go, go, go!' it just feels like wasted time. The trick is to turn the time into a treat and use it for something that you don't normally make time for. In my real life I never get a manicure. Mostly because I just don't have that block of time available to go to the salon, get the manicure and wait for it to dry. Wait, did I say 'wait'?

It truly is a maze. The underground hallways don’t mimic the sidewalks above ground, and it’s very easy to get turned around. The color of the [...]

It's a crime to visit or even pass through Buffalo, NY without a stop at the Anchor Bar; home of the original Buffalo wings. And they are better here than anywhere. On a recent trip to Ontario, I flew into Buffalo and my sister, Caroline, picked me up. We headed immediately to the Anchor Bar. They weren't even open yet...we had to wait 5 minutes. When they did open, they filled up quickly. Embarrassing as it was, we had to order both a white pizza and 50 wings, medium. Not all for us! We managed half of the pizza and 5 wings apiece, all the while explaining to the other lunch patrons that we were bringing [...]
