Well, the chain letter continues. I was tagged by Dan at Eight Hour Layover (Thanks Dan!) to give my 3 best travel secrets, based on some sort of chain that started with this woman Katie over at TripBase. (If you’re reading this, Hi Katie of 3-travel-secret fame!) I’ve done a fair amount of travelling, but …
Music is my weakness. When I was abroad in Sydney, I spent a good amount of money on expensive concerts (live music in Australia ain’t cheap, that’s for sure!). In Boston, I spend a lot of money seeing a lot of shows. Today, I saw Metric (http://www.ilovemetric.com) at the Boston House of Blues. As always, …

Instead of gambling away my hard-earned birthday cash, I sat at the bar with my recently-turned-21 sister and my Dad. We made a list of cocktail drinks that my Dad felt were …
In case you were wondering what I did for Halloween… I went as Max from Where the Wild Things Are.
So, I started drinking coffee about a year ago – just when work started to heat up, and I was beginning to feel semi-professional. There were a few months in there when I had 3 cups a day—not a lot compared to some people I know—but it was a lot for me. Since then, I’ve …
So, this is a blog. I haven’t yet decided what to do with this space, or how to do it, but in the meantime, I’ll just practice writing. It’s been a while since I’ve written anything besides an e-mail or a to-do list. And trust me, no one besides myself should have to read those. In …
