  • Washington, DC

    Hi everybody!

    I got to take a little trip to Washington DC with my little dude. He’s 16 months old now, and he’s just an awesome date. I can take him ANYWHERE. He had the best time at Lincoln Memorial walking around, and he came THIS CLOSE to jumping into the reflecting pool.

    The place was full of tourists who were in town for Obama’s inauguration. We didn’t stay for it, but it was exciting to be at that place at that time.

    A couple of weird things happened on this trip. First of all, I ran into someone from my old job on the flight back to Boston. Second of all, and this has never happend to me EVER before, I got seated next to the SAME PERSON I was sitting next to on the way there. It was the weirdest thing in the world. Especially because I got to know her name on the first flight, so I got to say “Molly?!” when I saw her the second time!

    I did want to give a shout out to this breakfast place my friends took us to. It was AMAZING. Every kind of bagel. Every kind of spread. Fresh squeezed orange juice. YUM. If you are ever on the Virginia side, you should give it a try. You will NOT be disappointed.

    I also made sure to get a little business done. I had the chance to interview my friend Angie and her husband for my Valentine’s Day podcast! It’s going to be a GOOD ONE!!! And we even had time for hazelnut gelato!

    Anyways, if you haven’t taken a trip out to Washington DC, it is totally worth it.

  • My first stand-up

    Tonight I decided to do something a little different. I have been dreaming about performing a comedy stand-up routine for years now, and I always found myself too busy or not ready to do it. This week I decided to bite the bullet and get it over with. As soon as I made the decision I came up with what would probably constitute 15 minutes worth of material. It just came rushing to me.

    And so I headed for the Cantab Lounge in Cambridge and participated in their weekly open mic. It was a wonderful experience and I got to meet a lot of people who were so incredibly open and supportive. I would do this again for sure!

    I felt my performance was actually pretty good for a first-timer, and thought that sharing it might not be such a bad thing. Here it is, for you. Enjoy.
