I just can’t quit you. If you ever get the chance, spend time at one of my most favorite places in the world. Take a picnic. Take your time. Let the desert win you over. Contrary to the view from the highway, she’s is so much more than dust, brown and...

I’m guessing many of you are floating along with me in the same “holy Moses, how did my pants get so snug already” gravy boat. Thanksgiving was delicious. And the two weeks since haven’t really been much different. My exercise routine...
