We wish to congratulate everyone on making through one of the longer stretches in the American calendar without a three-day weekend. We hope you’ll be able to spend some down time the next few days doing something you like, even if it’s just remaining horizontal on the sofa. But we invite you to take a moment this weekend to think about the ... [Read more...]

It's a long weekend, the first we've had in a while. And it's the unofficial start to summer. Which means... It's time to break out the sunscreen. You'll need it as you lounge by the pool here at the Remington. And when you're picking out some sunscreen, we all know that the higher the SPF rating, the better. Right? Wrong. It's not quite that... [Read more...]

Coffee has become so complicated. There was a day when the biggest choice you had to make was regular or decaf. Now you have dark roasts, light roasts, African, Asian, blends, cappuccinos, Americanos and delicious cold, creamy concoctions. And what happened to calling them small, medium and large? Now it's Venetto and Grosso, or something like that...... [Read more...]

When was the last time you took your best friend for an outing? And I don't mean to dinner and a movie or for coffee over at Scooter's. I'm talking about your canine best friend. Sure, you walk Spike every day. But wouldn't he love it to really stretch his legs a bit and  maybe meet some new friends? Luckily, there's a very nice, new dog park not... [Read more...]

What's the greatest cookie ever invented? Oreos are good, I'll admit. But they try too hard. They're too complicated. Oatmeal? They're not bad. But isn't oatmeal a breakfast cereal? Pecan Sandies? Eh... they taste good. But they have the word sand in the name. That's weird. The winner is, of course, Chocolate Chip. They are quintessentially American.... [Read more...]

Today being Earth Day, I got to thinking about simple, healthy living, and healthy eating. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. Luckily, The Remington is near an excellent farmers market, which will go a long way to helping you eat a healthy diet. I love visiting markets. Seeing and smelling all the fresh... [Read more...]

I work in a somewhat open environment.... as in, I don't have my own private, corner office with a marbled luxury restroom or wet bar. For the most part, my co-workers are all quite lovely and enhance the work place with their loveliness. But, like in any office, there's always going to be one or two office mates who just don't fit that mold, and as a result,... [Read more...]

Hey neighbors… anyone having a BCS Bowl Game Watching Party? I have a suggestion….. let’s get a group together and hoof it over to one of the Alamo Theaters… they’re airing it. What a great venue to watch Texas STOMP Alabama! Check out the calendar for the various locations here. Read More →

A new year usually gives me the urge to do new things around my apartment too. Especially, since I had to take down some things, rearrange some things and even get rid of some things, to make room for all the holiday decor. With all the decorations now put away, I have a somewhat cleaned-off canvass to work with. Besides, the same decorating scheme in an apartment... [Read more...]

Seem that most soap operas are going the way of the dodo. Earlier this year CBS canceled the longest running soap of all time, Guiding Light and now they have canceled As The World Turns. As The World Turns was the launching pad for some of today's most famous stars. Actors like Meg Ryan, Parker Posey and James Earl Jones graced their sets. So, it is now... [Read more...]
