along the east river
I mentioned I hate the subway. Well, I hate it even more on rainy days and forget trying to hail a cab from downtown to the UES. Fortunately, salvation comes in the form of the five dollar X90 uptown express bus. This helps cut 10 minutes off my commute time and drops me off right on the corner. With the subway, I have to walk 5 minutes-subway 25 minutes-walk another 15 minutes. I don’t mind when the weather is mild but the winters and humid summers can be unbearable!

scottsdale at dawn
This view makes it worth getting out of bed at 7 a.m. to start two full conference days of digital marketing.

wine spectator event, marriott marquis ny
Nothing like a little California wine tasting in New York to make you feel back at home. I lived in San Francisco for ten years and wish I’d gone to Napa more often. Now if I were single, this would’ve been a great meet market!

rubbing the bull for luck
Economic times are uncertain, especially if you work on New York’s Wall Street – the financial epicenter of the world. Bush signed the $700 billion bail out bill while I think some folks deserve to go to jail for greed and predatory lending.

pretty in pink & johnny cash black
October is a celebration of six months in a relationship, a year at a great job and my first apartment solo in New York. How did I get here? By writing down a clear list of goals that I kept very close to my heart. Most of all, thank you to my family and friends for all your support. Anything is possible.

Life’s been good. I had an incredible summer. I hope you all did too. Now the season is changing and I have reasons to feel the way I do…
