This week might just be my wackiest yet of 2008.
So, to kick things off on Monday night I attended the Publicity Club of New England’s annual Bell Ringers - the Oscars of the New England PR world. I enjoyed myself - food was good and I loved the steel drum band. The award show usually runs [...]

I’ve been an aunt for about a day now and my niece has to be the cutest baby ever…and I’m not just saying that because I’m her Auntie. I can’t tell you how excited I am to see her grow up. I’m always one to look towards the future. Then again, she is only about 36 [...]

We joined a kickball league! The “Massachusetts Minutemen” division of the World Adult Kickball Association, to be exact. A couple of our friends recruited us for the team, which happens to go by the name of “Balls Deep” (don’t even ask - I had nothing to do with it!).
We had our first game last week [...]

Firefighters are a breed unto themselves, doing a job most of us won’t or can’t do, yet we can’t live without.

The animals just sort of sit there (and understandably - how happy and active would you be if you were stuck in a pen?). [...]

It turns out over 1,600 people showed up last night for the Boston Derby Dames bout and there were lots of interesting characters in attendance (keeping Dan and I very entertained in between periods). The Wicked Pissahs beat the Cosmonaughties, but unfortunately lost one of their dames in the last period. The poor pissah had to be [...]

Dan and I just got home from another great meal at Dunn Gaherin’s, an Irish Pub on Elliot Street, a few minutes from our place. The service is great and the food….even better. They always have an awesome “specials” menu (not to mention our good friend Tim lives right across the street)!
Now that we’re home [...]

This weekend the Wicked Pissahs take on the Cosmonaughties in a bout of barbaric porportions.
I recently discovered the Boston Derby Dames, a roller derby league in the Boston area. I am truly intrigued by the whole production. In a way it almost reminds me of the WWE and wrestling - big personalities and a big [...]
