The Life and Style of a Mother Runner with Scoliosis
The West Wing, House of Cards, Veep, The Daily Show, The American President...I'm a huge fan of political dramas and satires, yet I have no interest in actual politics (go figure). I first went to Washington, DC three years ago and was utterly fascinated by all there is to see and do; this past weekend... Continue Reading →
Real women don't drink light beer. Confession: despite being from Brew City, I haven't always enjoyed beer. In fact, it wasn't until moving to the East Coast that I became a bit of a beer snob; specifically, a Wisconsin beer snob. We take our beer seriously in Wisconsin. From Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee (OMG best brewery... Continue Reading →
I am a shy person (perhaps contrary to popular belief). Always have been (hey, at least I can admit it, right?). Moonlighting at the House of Mouse for all those years forced me out of my shell; though my role required no talking, lots of miming, quick thinking, spontaneity, running around in a dog costume,...

Let's talk about the first time I saw Springsteen in concert... ...that was last weekend. The boy, being born and bred in New Jersey, is quite an avid fan (to say the least). A few months ago during the heat of graduate school when Bruce announced some U.S. tour dates, he jumped at tickets to The... Continue Reading →
It all started with an unexpected flight delay last Thursday morning. Well, four of them actually. The outlook for getting from Milwaukee to Philadelphia was grim. With the impending doom of a snow storm on the east coast, we rebooked our flight back east from the holidays to this morning (lucky too cause our multi-delayed... Continue Reading →
"If I'm walking by, it just looks like a headless horseman." When we last left our heroes, they were fiercely tasting, comparing, and enjoying two of their favorite pumpkin ales only to discover that the one they least expected to prevail, in fact, did! Now...they're at it again! Except this time, the pumpkin beer tasting... Continue Reading →
"Alright, is your palate clean?" "Mmm, hmmm." Tonight, The Boy and I finally decided to go for it: conduct a completely impromptu pumpkin beer tasting with our two favorites, Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale and Southern Tier Imperial Pumking Ale. We've been Weyerbacher snobs for quite some time now, but this past weekend at a frequent... Continue Reading →
That was a late night (and pretty lame, I might add) attempt at a clever title, riffing on "back in the saddle"...Uber. Fail. In other news, I went for a run tonight for the first time in—checks watch—probably two months. It was a lovely fall evening in Princeton (it's currently a chilly 47 degrees) and...

Remember that time The Boy and I decided to intentionally miss the last train back to New Jersey from Penn Station on a Saturday night, wander around the city during the wee hours of the morning and then watch the sun rise from Coney Island? We do (though some of it's a bit fuzzy). Thank... Continue Reading →
