Two weekends ago, I drove (rode along) to Detroit with a friend to see the Green Bay Packers take on the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. As you know, I love a good road trip, I love spectating sports, and I love my Green Bay Packers, so the trip was a no-brainer. My friend is... Continue Reading →
4 Things I’m Focusing on in 2018
I've never been one for New Year's resolutions. In fact, a couple of years ago when I noticed that many of my sentences about my life began with "if only..." and "when X happens, I'll be happier," I made a life-changing decision to stop wishing my life away and live in the present. Instead of... Continue Reading →
Hello Endorphins, My Old Friends
In keeping with my positive outlook for 2014, I’ve made a concerted effort to work out more. (Read: at all). Last week, I did two kickboxing classes and an aquacycling class. This week, I have big dreams of doing yoga and finding some crazy, cool new cardio class to try out. Though I’ve come up with... Continue Reading →
Aquacycling, My New Favorite Workout
I’ve never been one for workout fads. You won’t find me sweating in my living room to a Jane Fonda tape, rollerblading through Central Park accompanied by Sparky, doing whatever it is you do with a Thighmaster, or defending my opinion on Soul Cycle vs. Flywheel. I attribute my lackadaisical attitude toward exercise trends to... Continue Reading →
How Do I Love Thee, Green Bay Packers? Let Me Count the Ways.
As a lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers, I was obviously ecstatic about the outcome of Super Bowl 45 this past Sunday. The last time the Packers made it to the Super Bowl, I was 13 years-old and when the Packers won their last Super Bowl title, I was 12 years-old. That was such... Continue Reading →

Me, in happier Brett Favre times. As a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan, I was in love Brett Favre for a very, very long time. When I moved to Boston in the winter of 2007, I brought my love for Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers along with me. I made sure that everyone... Continue Reading →
August is the Sunday Night of Summer
It has been a great summer. I have had the good fortune to attend many concerts, baseball games, and take several trips. For the most part, the weather has been agreeable (aside from the extreme humidity and the flash floods) and I have been able to enjoy some quality time basking in the sun and...

Sutter, CNN [Comic Sans is] probably the worst font ever to grace the computer screen. - MG Siegler, TechCrunch Last night, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers took... Continue Reading →
The Best of Times, The Worst of Times
"We are inclined that if we watch a football game or baseball game, we have taken part in it." ~John F. Kennedy "Root, root, root for the home team. If they don't win it's a shame." - "Take me Out to the Ballgame" As an avid sports fan, I attend as many sporting events as... Continue Reading →
Take Me Out to the Ballgame
We all know that baseball is America's pastime and I feel very fortunate to live only 15 minutes away from my local ballpark. Popping over to Miller Park to catch the Milwaukee Brewers in action requires little effort and there's always someone who is willing to go at a moment's notice. There's always a way to...
