What I Learned This Week: #230

Monday, February 14 – Sunday, February 20, 2022 The Week in Dining: I had a weird dining experience at Khora this week. I’m a big fan of the food they serve which focuses on very good ingredients often prepared in unexpected ways. The food is pricey, but worth it, especially combined with the laid back,Continue reading “What I Learned This Week: #230”

What I Learned This Week: #229

Monday, February 7 – (Super Bowl) Sunday, February 13, 2021 The Week in Broadway: The second of my Broadway Across America shows rolled into town this week, the classic My Fair Lady.

What I Learned This Week: #228

Monday, January 24 – Sunday, February 6, 2022 Two weeks…the weather and the Bengals are throwing me off.

What I Learned This Week: #225

Monday, January 3 – Sunday, January 9, 2022 The Week in COVID Part 1 – Communication: In a weird week where COVID cases spiked across the country, in my office, we had an doozy of a Monday afternoon. A new employee on her very first day in the office, chose to wait until after lunchContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #225”

What I Learned This Week: #224

Monday, December 20, 2021 – Sunday, January 2, 2022 In a year where time was impossible to latch onto, the week leading up to Christmas and the time between Christmas and New Years were all Fridays. Every day. Except for my co-worker Joe, who kept having Wednesdays. Weird. Anyway, here’s a two week bridge ofContinue reading “What I Learned This Week: #224”
