  • Vacation (All I Ever Wanted)*

    I don't think I've ever felt the need for a winter getaway as strongly as I did this winter. Luckily, I had friends getting married in sunny Palm Springs, California this past weekend. Sun, palm trees, pool, and good times. Ahhhh. *A nod, of course, to the Go-Go's.

  • Busy Busy Bee

    Sorry for the radio silence, kids. I have been a little busier than I'd prefer and when I have had down time, I have had zero interest in being in front of a computer. I am currently on an Amtrak en route to DC for a conference law school public interest/pro bono people and am

  • Unplugging

    While I was in Maine last week, for a decent portion of the trip I was in a cabin on a lake in Casco, Maine. This was incredibly relaxing on many fronts, not the least of which was the spotty cell service and lack of wifi. Sometimes I don't realize how much time I spend

  • Weekend Wrapup

    I didn't have time for much of a recap yesterday, but I had a wonderful, relaxing weekend on Fire Island with good friends, excellent weather, a solid (if slow) run without any pain, lobsters and other tasty meals, late night giggle fits and a fantastic soundtrack that's still stuck in my head. I've gotta plan

I'm a little sad, as the company I'm going with — Blue Marble — is winding down after this season. I've traveled

  • Pacific Northwest Recap

    I still feel like I'm recovering from Portland and Seattle — a week full of work inspiration, friends, laughs, and wonderful food and drink. Many thanks to those I got to see, especially to those who treated me to food, drinks (and lodging) during my journey! xoxo The Knock Back Expatriate The Rookery at Raven

  • Way Out West

    My apologies for the radio silence. I have been crazy-busy preparing for, traveling to, and participating in the Equal Justice Conference in Portland, Oregon. While I’ve been here, I have also been trying to spend time with my cocktail and non-conference friends as well — always a juggling act, but always worth it. I’m headed

  • The Perfect View

    While eating a lobster roll or fried clams. In case you're wondering, it's the Two Lights Lobster Shack in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. (and here's a very off-kilter picture of my delicious fried clams)
