• I’ve Got It Covered

    I’m starting a new year with a new playlist — a collection of covers that are equal to (or even better than) the original song. Enjoy! What songs do I need to add?

    Books I Read in 2022

    Groucho Marx famously said that “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” Well, much of my reading this year was done next to dogs. In particular, these dogs: I completed 21 books in 2022. The five I’d recommend most highly are: The other…

    Get Your Trix on Route 66

    I’d like to introduce you to my new niece, Trixie! Trixie is a tricolor Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She was eager to play with her new cousins, but Lucy wanted to be by herself and Linus was somewhat skittish. But don’t worry — Uncle Britt showered Trixie with attention!

    So It’s Come to This: A Doggo Photo Post

    It has been a while since I posted anything, which means you can accuse me of false advertising — it is, after all, The Daily Dave. Not The When I Feel Like Posting Something Dave. To apologize for slipping out of my regular posting cadence, I offer up the adorable…

    I Guess That’s Why We Call Them the Blues

    The Complimentary Spouse and I trekked to Orlando last weekend to see Chelsea take on Arsenal in the Florida Cup. Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Chelsea sucked. Bad. I think they were experimenting with some new formations, but they clearly didn’t work. About halfway through…

    “Hey, Dave,” people keep saying. “Why haven’t you created a video of some of the rides you saw in Tivoli last month?” Stop pestering me. Here is it. Happy now? I know this is a short post, but I think my magnum opus about food in London and Copenhagen makes…

    A Wildly Inaccurate Guide to Chicago Architecture

    My cousins and I recently descended upon Chicago for our annual reunion. Between all the drinking, eating, drinking, and more drinking, we went on a boat tour of Chicago’s architectural landmarks and marvels. I got some great photos of the buildings, but I don’t recall all the facts, so I…

  • Tripped Up

    Tripped Up

    As mentioned in an earlier post, I tripped in London and ended up in the emergency room. I’ve been telling people that I fell when I was attacked by a pack of feral corgis outside Buckingham Palace, but the truth is I tripped on the South Bank near Jubilee Gardens.…

    What I Ate (and Drank) on My Summer Vacation

    “I’m going to eat well on this trip,” I promised myself as the Complimentary Spouse and I were packing for our vacation in London and Copenhagen. “Just three sensible meals a day. A dessert once or twice. No snacks.” I broke that promise just a few hours after landing when…

  • Miss Me?

    All over the world, people are asking “Why hasn’t Dave updated the Daily Dave?” What, you haven’t heard people asking that? It was in all the papers. The answer is simple: I injured my right wrist on vacation and it’s hard for me to type on my iPhone! I can…
