turn it up

A friend posted Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons on Facebook and now I can't stop listening to it. I recommend you crank this one up real loud. You won't be disappointed.

back to school

I'm going back to school this fall to get my MBA. I have to say, I am loving being back in the classroom. First test today, wish me luck!

thanks for that

I was just reunited with this site that I love called thxthxthx. It's a thank you note a day. Some big, some small. This one seemed appropriate to me as I ponder having people over for dinner this weekend.

god willin' & the creek don't rise

Off to see Ray LaMontagne at the Greek Theater tonight. One of my favorite artists in one of my favorite venues. If you haven't heard the new album yet, get started with the tune below.

mad men

God I love this show. And this week's episode made me cry, closed out by the perfectly melancholy Simon and Garfunkel.

repeat

As my dear friend Jaime says, "Sometimes you need to listen to the same song over and over." For me right now it's this. I just can't get enough of it.

eastbound and up

After a crazy and tiring (yet exhilarating) week, I escaped to my family's home in Clinton, CT for the long weekend. Earl's bark was bigger than his bite and the weather was absolutely beautiful. I got to spend my needed time with family and friends and meet my cousin's new munchkin. I also managed to eat my way across all of the Connecticut shoreline. Lobster rolls at Lobster Landing (above) were definitely the standout.
