Monday morning, my friend and I were going into the city to wait for the marathon finishers. Lynette and I walked to the T in Cambridge to go into Boston. The ultimate goal was to see her sister Suzanne and my friend Steve as they crossed the finish line in the Boston Marathon. We left… Continue reading Public Gardens
I grew up in the late 60’s, having been born at the tail end of the Baby Boomer era. I remember celebrating the first Earth Day in 1970 but not with US Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin who founded the event.

I just saw a television commercial for the upcoming Sex and the City 2 movie due out the end of May. I truly cannot wait. While I love, love, loved the series, I was ambivalent about the first movie. I wrote about going with my two daughters here. My biggest concern about the first movie… Continue reading Sex and the City 2
