As is not often the case, Boston is in the eye of the storm, a nor'easter named Nemo. My Twitterverse exploded with warnings, regulations and advice as Nemo loomed large. And then, the crazy thing is that Twitter was right, Nemo was/is actually quite devastating. The only non-devastating news is the name Nemo itself. Why... Continue Reading →

You are lying on a sofa, half-asleep and full of snack food in front of the television, and a truly great commercial is suddenly staring you down. Remote in hand, you are utterly powerless.

First Snow
A light snow began to fall, covering the ground in a pure white. The innocent beauty of the fluttering flurries flowing freely from the open sky were appreciated by all, except her.
