A month ago, I was in Paris living my best life. Between visiting the Musee D'Orsay, the Louvre, the Pompidou, walking around the Marais and Les Halles, sitting in cafes sipping spritzes and coffee, munching on French onion soup and-of course-les escargots, drinking champagne in Champagne, conversing with the locals en francais, watching the can-can...

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 →
I live for a good road trip--being on the open road, seeing the changing backdrops as you drive through varying terrains, listening to music, playing car games, and then immersing myself with the locals of my final destination. As an unlicensed driver, I can't legally drive anywhere without at least one other person, which means... Continue Reading →
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau Last week, I returned from a two-week... Continue Reading →
"Wisconsin. That's in Michigan, right?" Once, on my family's annual family vacation to New Hampshire, a kid asked me where I was from. I of course responded with, Wisconsin. Without skipping a beat, he responded, that's in Michigan, right? I never forgot the disgust I felt that someone my age (11) had no idea where... Continue Reading →
Last week, I enjoyed a fabulous, all-inclusive vacation in Mexico. I spent the week with family and friends on the Caribbean Sea, sipping drinks on the beach, enjoying 80 degree weather, and working on my tan in January--oh and visiting ancient ruins in Tulum. Â I could not have asked for a better vacation. Â At the... Continue Reading →
I've always been a list person, but not in the traditional sense. I'm not the type of person who makes extensive daily to-do lists (although I tried to be sophomore year of college). When I think of something I want to remember, whether it is a task to complete or an interesting idea to write...

It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen--oh wait, excuse me, wrong story. What I meant to say was that it was an unseasonably warm day in November when I read about the latest in airport security measures--full body scans. Full body scans?!   Wasn't walking barefoot through the metal detector with all... Continue Reading →
I still can't believe it's been a solid month since I left on vacation with my sister and dad to return to our beloved family camp on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire after an eight year hiatus. Post-college, it seems like time passes a whole lot faster and so I'm still in disbelief that a month has...

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...
