Wine weekend

              
              
I had every intention of posting this yesterday but I got a little sidetracked by my, ahem, athletic injury.  Barry and I just got back from a fun long weekend in the New York Finger Lakes.  It was so peaceful and relaxing.  I was a little hesitant when we [...]

Beaten by the road

         
Today was one of those mornings when I didn’t want to get out of bed.  My alarm went off at 5 and I was so tempted to reset it for 6.  I don’t usually run on Wednesdays but I didn’t run yesterday and I knew I would feel bad about it if I [...]

Product review

Weekend in the mountains

   
  
I just got back yesterday from a few days in the White Mountains with my family.  It’s the first time I’ve been since I was little (think Story Land age).  It was peaceful and beautiful and HOT AS A BLAZING INFERNO.  I thought we’d be escaping the heat in Boston, not crossing over the gates [...]
