Valentine’s Day 2012: Celebrating 23 27 years of unrequited love and rejections!

Update: Apparently I’m getting so old I can’t even count anymore. It’s not 23 years, it’s actually 27. O_O And I was so looking forward to celebrating the silver anniversary too by hanging myself.  It all started when Margie Otta kicked me in the shinny after I gave her a Valentine’s Day card back in…

A Tale of Two Tracking Bugs

In the world of geocaching, there’s a fun activity that involves the use of what’s called Travel Bugs.

Cheers at Faneuil Hall

I started writing this while enjoying dinner at Cheers (yes THE Cheers, or at least the replica they created at Faneuil Hall). As soon as I walked in the overhead speakers started playing “More Than A Feeling”, and I knew I was home. After a few days in the city too, I think I’m almost…
