Wait, zero frequent flier miles after all this?
Last week was our annual summer vacation to Ohio and Indiana (or vowel states as Dan Dunn calls them) to visit our family and friends. We really enjoy the chance to catch up with many people we haven’t seen for a while and hopefully escape the recently abysmal New England weather. This year our adventure […]

Pacehorse
We ran the Covered Bridges Half Marathon this weekend in Woodstock, Vermont. We stayed at the Lincoln Inn, with a friendly innkeeper and delicious Asian Fusion restaurant (Mangowood) for dinner. The area was scenic and quaint, made even more enjoyable by our knowledgeable and fun friend Heather, who went to Law School nearby and joined […]

1:02:27 deserves a celebratory dinner or two

Brian decided to register for a tune-up race this weekend, and I grudgingly agreed to run too. We arrived at the race course along with hundreds of obviously serious runners.

Work-Life “Balance” – in theory and in practice
There is a lot of talk about work/life balance. Students at WILG ask about this topic most when talking with alumni. One very senior woman at my company told me there is no such thing – it’s all about work-life integration. Some friends swear by outsourcing all household chores to make room for “quality time” […]

Mascot Madness
As some of you know each year a few of my friends and I enter a bracket of mascot picks in the NCAA tournament. These picks are generally terrible, but they’re great fun to discuss and they give you something to cheer for once your own sorry picks have been eliminated. The basic rule is […]

Sox tix time
Yesterday was the annual season ticket lottery for the Red Sox tickets we share with friends. This year we were picking #2 so we ended up with a nice weekend Yankees game in August rather than a random Tuesday night in April. Here are the games we have: 4/9 TB (opening series day game) 4/21 […]

Signs of Spring
Despite our snow storm on Monday, it did feel like spring by this weekend. the snow is nearly all melted. (And yes the church next door cleared a path through the snow mountain without us having to complain) the crocuses are up! Slinky caught mouse #2, cornered behind our TV trays. Smaller this time, and […]

Turning 34
Well, here it is, my birthday! I feel wonderfully loved and celebrated from all the cards, emails, phone calls and happy wishes. The Sheldons are staying with us this week, so I even got a happy birthday from my godson Max this morning before I went to work. I’m sad that I have succumbed to […]
