Summer Madness... South Beach cruisin' with Scott last night in a Ford-Mustang-convertible...too much fun!

Pizza Heaven...Chicago or New York?

Do you want to know one of the world's greatest debates? The battle between New York or Chicago style PIZZA!!!  Which do you prefer?

These two cities in the United States both lay claim to the title of best pizza. It has been said that in New York, the crown of Best Pizza goes to Grimaldi's in Brooklyn - "This former hangout of Frank Sinatra is proud of its heritage: tables with red-and-white checked tablecloths, and toppings that haven't changed in decades. If ever there was a prototypical New York pizza, this is it."   What about CHI-TOWN?  The Windy City is best known for the deep-dish pizza. Pizza in the pan - nice!  Chicago lays it hopes in Malnati's - this pizza chain lays claim to the best deep-dish pizza in the city. My wife is from Chicago, I have good buddy who lives in Chicago, and I even love spending time in Chicago, however, though I never have been to New York, I prefer NEW YORK style PIZZA - LOVE IT!!! 

Minneapolis has a GREAT New York style Pizza dive called, SoHo Cafe.  This little hole in the wall is great place with great people. I've been there several times and love it! The Greek food style is OFF-THE-FRICKEN-HOOK, and the CATS who run the place are pretty cool too. Great food--try the Spinach Pizza and I had the meat Stromboli with a salad just yesterday with a good homeboy of mine (good eats DREW!).  My vote for NEW YORK PIZZA!   

A cup of coffee, blueberry muffin, great couch, and fits of anal-retentiveness

I have been know to have fits of anal-retentiveness.  For example, I'm sitting here in a Caribou Coffee coveting my favorite couch (the couch is custom made and great if you have a bad back - love it!), and drinking a coffee from Starbucks (a tall carmel mocha-which I had to sneak by the Caribou folks), and I have a blueberry muffin from a special Target Starbucks (which is different from the Starbucks I bought my carmel mocha-the coffee at the Target Starbucks stinks!).  Ok, I know I'm not the only weird-anal-retentive person out there-am I?

call me BOND...

You might want to call me "Jamey BOND 007." I was on a top-secret mission to get my Starbucks-tall-carmel-mocha past two Caribou Coffee workers without busting me.  I am not a fan of Caribou Coffee, however, its the only decent studying place close to my home.  My wife doesn't mind Caribou, but I really don't dig it!
