I need a bike. I want to commute places, and I want to compete in triathlons. Apparently, I need two bikes, not just one. So on the one hand, I just need a bike to get me from my house to Whole Foods, the coffeeshop, and possibly downtown when it’s not 700 degrees outside. But…

Review: Primizie
My dinner at Primizie was wonderful. I can’t give all the credit to the restaurant, however, because the company was fantastic–three women catching up, laughing and joking all night. So the company made everything a little better. That said, here’s a breakdown of the meal: extremely patient waiter. He must have come back four times…

Rumor Mill: Austin Restaurant Week
They do it in a bunch of other cities, and I think RARE magazine is endeavoring to bring it to Austin. It’s a week where tons of restaurants offer 3-course meals for only $25 or $35. It gives people the opportunity to try restaurants they wouldn’t normally try at affordable price points. Pretty exciting! The…
Gold’s Gym
I love going to the gym. So just know that before you read any further. Corporate gyms–and big corporations in general–get a bad rap in Austin, but I think there are some real benefits to chains like Gold’s and the like. In fact, I love Gold’s Gym. And here’s why … … Tons of locations.…
