We wore big hats and oxford shoes. We drank mint juleps and played croquet. While none of us were into horse racing, we were into having themed parties, and this year will mark the second annual get-together. Whatever your feelings are on the time-honored tradition of this weekend’s Kentucky Derby, you have to admit the […]

Like the bike
And by “best,” I mean that it makes me shout obscenities frequently and loudly. With the continued growth of Oklahoma City, it’s not surprising that our highways and byways are groaning with growing pains, as well. A lot of road warriors have grownup in and around the Plains states and are not adept at driving […]

Good gray
That next day I stopped coloring my Rogue-like gray streak in my hair (I sometimes like to think I’m actually an X-person). It didn’t fight back, as it’s been ignoring the color I’ve put on it since college. And, frankly, I was tired of only being able to part my hair a specific way to […]

Sporty spice

Soup’s on
Nestled on the south side of the Super Cao Nguyen building, Mr. Pho is an unassuming cafe packed with friendly service and an abundant Vietnamese and Chinese menu. When you’re in, start with an appetizer or two. The shrimp roll ($2.95 for two) is full of fresh vermicelli, lettuce, sprouts and mint leaf, neatly packed […]

Blame it on the rain
I know I’m in the minority where adoration of gray clouds and raindrops is concerned, but that’s OK. Whether you’re down with precipitation or not, it’s still a fun precipitation or not, it’s still a fun reason to shop for wet-proof attire. You’ll need an umbrella first and foremost. Choosing one can be as tedious […]
