Last week was spring break here in New England but the weather felt more like winter. Desperate for some sun and above freezing temps, the kiddies and I booked a last minute trip to the warmest place I could find for the cheapest plane ticket. That place happened to be Nashville. When you don't plan... Continue Reading →
I don't know if you've heard but southeastern Massachusetts got pummelled by the storm that tore up the East Coast this past weekend. The nor'easter whipped through on Friday night and left a wake of flooded basements, toppled trees and downed power lines. 100% of my little coastal town was without electricity until today. Our...

Never mind all the stuff that's happening behind the scenes and behind closed doors in Washington these days. It's still a great place for a little trip. In fact, with all the unseemly things going on, it's actually a perfect time to go. Because D.C. is a shrine to everything that's good about America. It's... Continue Reading →
Ah, divine Providence. No, no... not God's intervention in the world. Providence, Rhode Island. You know- that little city in that little state that you probably never think about.

I live in a teeny tiny town in a part of the state that's largely ignored. For whatever reason, the south coast of Massachusetts has lagged far behind other areas in terms of commerce and development. Even tourism--which the region is prime for because of its beautiful landscape and miles of shoreline-- is basically nonexistent in... Continue Reading →
This Thanksgiving we traded turkey, stuffing, and mashies for wine, cheese, bread and surprisingly good pub food. Bucking tradition to travel this year seemed to be a trend if my friend's Insta and Facebook feeds are any indication. Lots of people headed north, south, east, and west to celebrate sans pumpkin pie or a doze in... Continue Reading →
Sometimes you just need to get away. Vermont is a good place to do just that.
Last weekend my friends I ran the Brooklyn Rock n Roll half marathon. We could have picked a race closer to home, but we'd heard good things about this one and well, if we're being perfectly honest, we're more about the party that happens after than the actual running part of the race, so making a...
