So I did it. I really, really did it – 101 things in 1001 days. And, as I noted on my list, I’ve made a new 101 list for the next 1001 days. The Boy begged me to make a list of 101 things that I wouldn’t do in 1001 days. {He’s funny that way.} […]

Yes, I Ride Public Transportation
Yes, I ride the train to and from work as often as my schedule will allow. No, I am not financially destitute with public transportation as my only option.

It’s a foundational right of American citizens, to elect whom we wish to represent us. You […]

Two things that make weekend work bearable… A little fuzzy girl purring in my lap while I type and a full pot of coffee that The Boy made for me to enjoy.
The Full Story
If you’ve followed me on Facebook, you have probably guessed what my crazy story is about: Trying to outrun a hurricane in a rental car. My little close foursome band had gone to Washington, DC, so our men could run the Marine Corps Marathon. I was supposed to run the marathon as well, but an […]
