I'm getting ready to fly out tomorrow to take part in an epic trip ... a 3000 mile race across America. Check and see if I'm passing through your town ...
This weekend I'll be flying out to LA to participate on the media team for Race Across America (RAAM). Be sure to subscribe and stay up-to-date on my 3000 mile road trip across America following inspiring cyclists from all over the world as they peddle fast from coast to coast.
As I'm gearing up to spend a couple of weeks doing a 3000 mile road trip from LA to Maryland to follow RAAM, I'm taking a closer look at road food. The small "mom and pop" type of diners that you discover while driving back roads state-to-state across America.

This evening, I just added one more thing to my list and couldn't wait to share it ... flash mobs. I want to be right smack in the middle of a flash mob someday. The excitement and positive energy in these seemingly random events is contagious. I figured it would make a great "Happy Friday" post.

This Four Seasons Journey in Whistler presented a few daring "firsts" for me. Such as riding a snowmobile to the top of a mountain, discovering what makes a good long bone, and walking through a hotel lobby Julia-Roberts-Style wearing nothing but a bath robe.

Refreshingly crisp, this recipe is an excellent accompaniment to breakfast or a healthy choice to bring to a bbq. The best part is, you can also blend it with vodka or champagne to make tastey fruity beverages. Unpacking my office, I found this recipe on the top of my files. It was from our stay at Stonehurst Place in Atlanta this past January. We were there to write an anonymous review for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a luxury travel website.
