A Nor’ Easter of a Trip!

Tomorrow morning I rise bright eyed and bushy tailed (maybe) for a trip to three New England states: Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. One of the reasons why I take an extended trip around this time of year is because I get two holidays in close proximity to each other: Lincoln’s Birthday and President’s Day….

A Tale of Two Candles

Yankee Candle Store Sign

I left New York on a freezing cold morning, just before sunrise. I had to stop by a gas station first to recheck my tires, since one of them had driven over a screw sometime in the past two weeks. 6 years I drive my car, including a 14 state trip in October, and I…

Time to break out the thermal underwear

Single digit temps. That’s what’s waiting for me when I arrive in New Hampshire this Thursday.

Yaaay! But whatever, I was born during violent weather,…

From Neverland to La-La Land!

First thing I did when I got into work today was excitedly ask people what they thought of the Scott Brown election. The typical conversation went like this: “So did you hear about the election in Massachusetts last night???” Blank look. “Um, you have heard about the election between Scott Brown and Martha Coakley right,…
