The Adrenaline of Moving and Goodbye
So, Keith was the good brother and flew out to Boston a few days before our move to help us drive back to Ohio. I admire family sacrifice like that – Bravo Keith! Our last days in Boston were busy, naturally, and overwhelming to me. As excited I was for the new house, Nick’s new […]
To You
There’s a handful of people who I truly believe make this world more just, creative, fun, and alive with the right things. Nadia Abou-Karr is one of them. Today, I am most grateful for this amazing womyn who gives her heart to the Allied Media Conference, among so many other great events. I am better […]
Now THAT Was an Intense Trip: Part II
After a horrendous decision to eat a slider from White Castle at 4am, I fall into an exhausted sleep in Keith’s room. In the morning, I felt worse.

3 Down, 97 More to Go
Today is our 3rd year anniversary! We woke up and did what we always do the morning of our anniversary — watch our wedding slideshow and footage of the big day. Of course we cried like big fat babies, as we do every year, but it’s wonderful to relieve the greatest day of our lives. […]
Please, Barack, Don’t Do It
Whatever happens, Barack, please do NOT put Hillary on your ticket. *Update 6/4/08 Ok, here’s my reasoning as to why. Just as much as anyone else, I am not too hopeful when it comes to public office. The corruption – from the grounds of community councils all the way to the White House – is […]
