I want to talk with you today about Health Insurance. And I want to talk to you about it for several reasons, namely it’s expensive and has hit some snags this past year in terms of online enrollment. But also I want to help you avoid becoming lost in those online snags by listening to… Continue reading Massachusetts Health Insurance →

I went to Cleveland this past weekend for what I'd like to call a "Food for the Soul" weekend. And though I currently reside in Boston, I have to tell you that given the opportunity I would put Cleveland on my top 10 places to go for a restorative mini vacation. I'm fully aware that… Continue reading Cleveland →

  You know I sat down to write this, thinking it would be easy to put into words someone who is such a force in my life. But then when it wasn't I realized how naive I was being. How do you ever categorize Bruce Springsteen? I hope this does him a glimmer of justice,… Continue reading Bruce Springsteen →

Weddings!   Weddings. How have we gotten this far into my mind's verbal diarrhea without addressing weddings? Calamity. Let's dig deep, shall we? How many weddings have I been in I wonder. I don't actually know. I've seen the good, I've seen the bad, people as usual have informed me of things that I additionally… Continue reading Weddings →

I don't really know how to begin this. And I don't know if this will help people, I don't know if it will help me. But I am not a good speaker. I was never, actually, a good speaker. I get stage fright and sometimes my voice cracks. My body shakes, my hands sweat, and… Continue reading For My Dad →

I've decided to write this post despite the fact that there's no turning back after this point. You will know more about me after the next few paragraphs than perhaps some of you ever wished to know, or even were aware you never did want to know. Perhaps some of you have merely stumbled across… Continue reading Groupons →

Here's me and Boston. I'm in the foreground trying to get it together while Boston waits patiently behind me. Such is our story. It is a love story. In 2007 I had just graduated college with no idea what the hell I was going to do with my life. My cousin asked me if I… Continue reading Boston →

"Which clubs did you want to go to?"-Bambi "Well, I want to go to all of them."-Me "That's gonna be a lot of cover charges!"-Bambi "...Not if we're a BACHELORETTE PARTY!"-Me It had all begun as a way to save money. There's a stretch of bars (dare I say clubs?) in Pittsburgh that you can… Continue reading {FAKE} Bachelorette Parties →

Growing up, I was not the best catholic. Not because I was out "sinning" per say, but because I couldn't really remember all the stuff you're supposed to remember when you are in fact "catholic" (I still don't- do I capitalize the word "catholic"?). So I guess to that degree I could have been out… Continue reading Catholic School →
