Baby on board I've been in a major travel pattern of late - even more than usual for this state-hopping frequent flier. So, when I boarded a very full flight headed eastbound and down only to be situated right behind a beautiful, young mother traveling with her 1-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl, I braced myself for an eventful few hours. |

Closing Wright's AZ-WI circle This weekend I finally got to see Taliesen's bookend, Taliesen West, which Wright constructed on a craggy Scottsdale hillside later in his life. Like its namesake, this Taliesen, too, feels like part of its setting. |

Spring training tidbits I'm sitting at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, an hour before hopping my flight home to Milwaukee. It was another good Spring Training trip, and even though I did my best to take you along on the ride, I realized a missed a few things. Here's what didn't make the cut in the last few blogs. |

It's a marathon and a sprint Every year I try and slow this spring training trip down. And every year, it speeds itself up. Not that I'm complaining, but there's too much to do to relax out here. |

Loving every minute of it The downside of doing a spring training trip every year is that it's easy to become accustomed to the experience, to look past the little details that make this so special. Not this year. Nope, this time around, I'm literally stopping to smell the flowers. |

Strap on snowshoes for fun and safe winter cardio The snow may have been tardy on arrival this year, but better late than never to take advantage of winter sporting activities. There's a throng to choose from and I have learned that they are not all for me. Basically, if I have to don goggles that cover half my grill for safety reasons or a protective suit of armor, I'm not down to participate. Hence, my devotion to snowshoeing. |

Recapping Fall Fashion Week 2012 My last week came to a close after seeing over 32 collections from Fall 2012. Roughly that translates to over 3,000 pieces of clothing flashed before my eyes in about 50 hours' time. The week before that, I sat front row (or just about) at most of the shows I attended during NYC Fashion Week, and I can assure you that it is a sea of prettiness out there. |

Dazzled by David You've really "made it" when your name has become a verb. And so David Copperfield reminds his audience with the montage of television and film clips that begins his show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. David Copperfield is a modern day Merlin - only with a closer relationship to Just for Men, a tailor and supermodels. |
