Celebrating our 25-Year Date-iversary at the Hilton Garden Inn Central Park South

November 10, 1990. That’s the exact day I first dated the woman who would become my best friend in the entire world and eventually my wife. Allie and I grew up just one town over from each other in the Rockland County suburbs, but we didn’t meet until we were both in college at upstate SUNY Binghamton, some three hours away. That night, November 10 of my freshman year, we both went to a Blind …

Location and Luxury Await You at the Sonesta Philadelphia Downtown

Me, Costner and Snow White are Gonna Be BFFs When I Head Back to Los Angeles! #McFarlandUSAEvent

#McFarlandUSAEvent

Last year, I got to cross a number of items off my bucket list including hanging with Captain America and interviewing a Muppet. (I got to interview three Muppets actually!)  It was all thanks to an amazing Blogging Trip put together by the dream-makers known as Disney. Well, guess what? Apparently I didn’t embarrass myself too much interviewing Scarlett Johansson because I just got invited to my second Disney Blogger Trip in Los Angeles!!! This time …
