"100,000 Valentine's Day Package" by Sharon on February 2, 2008, 5:56 pm, in category General

You have to admit, this is one fancy package offered by the Ritz Carlton - Dallas:
http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Dallas/Reservations/Packages/Detail/Once1.htm
I suppose it's not sold yet because they still have the link to purchase the reservation online and there is only one to sell. Do you mean to tell me if they had more than one buyer, that something couldn't be worked out to accommodate both. Whatever. I found it to be a hoot at first, then intriguing. Why not? Sound.....

Visited Houston recently and saw Jersey Boys - the story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. Electrifying! You just don't want the show to end.
Christopher Kale Jones as Franki Valli is mesmerizing. Just can't take your eyes off of him!
Erik Bates is the perfect Tommy DeVito-bad boy. Erik toured with the Four Seasons, singing back up with the man himself, Frankie Valli.
The telling of the story of the group's beginnings and ending flows from one hit song to the oth.....

"Strong's Everyday Tavern" by Sharon on November 3, 2007, 3:46 pm, in category General

Lunched at Strong's yesterday and am excited something wonderful is happening in the heretofore jinxed spot. Had the club salad - a little skimpy on the fried proscuitto and dressing, but otherwise good. Could have used some garlic bread or some sort of bread on the side.
Luncheon partner had the hamburger. She ordered it medium rare. Appeared a little too rare upon delivery, so it was sent back and came back to the table perfect.

We took the advice of their PR people and made reservations for Easter brunch. Published a nice article in socialwhirl's Extreme Epicurean encouraging others to do so, too.
Entered the restaurant. Was seated. Tables were not full. There are about 20 tables in the restaurant. Ten minutes later, someone brought water. Our daughter, who works as a server somewhere else, said she'd be fired if a customer had to wait that long. She suggested we walk out and s.....

Claudia Armstrong and Charlotte Browning, co-owners, At My Table in Snider Plaza, have a wonderful idea: to feature the table setting of the hot soon-to-open Trader Vic's in Dallas. The tablescape is on show in their shop now.
Back in the late '70's and early '80's Trader Vic's was hot. Dallas' bar scene had Elan (disco, dinner and backgammon), the Pawn Shop (backgammon and great food); Cowboys (duh); some great club north that we all tried to go to, but wound up .....

"Smooth Jazz" by Sharon on November 8, 2006, 9:18 am, in category General

When 107.5 went to the new wild party format, didn't know where to go for smooth jazz. So, with a little research found that you can listen to 107.5 - 2 on HD radio in the car. I bought a HD radio for the home and it picks up pretty well ... really do need a booster antenna.
But, looked up smooth jazz online and there is a wonderful station out of Monterey, CA at smoothjazz.com where you can download single songs, buy CDs, etc. A wonderful find!
