My teen daughter and I braved Chicago traffic to have lunch at one particular restaurant my mom raves about. Who knew getting into downtown on a Saturday afternoon would be so bumper-to-bumper hard? Not to mention, our GPS unit was on the fritz.

Look, I know two people can get tipsy on a date. A little laughter, a spilled martini, and pretty soon [...]

I’m reading a book, glancing at patrons, when a hottie walks in. Faded [...]
