If I had to summarize May of 2023 with just a couple of words, they’d definitely be “extended vacation.” This month has been all about cross-country travel, live music and festivals, great food, and time with some of my dearest friends and loved ones- a trend I’m hoping will continue into June, as well! But […]
Given that Memorial Day is a more somber holiday, I’m not sure if anyone says “Happy Memorial Day,” although I’ve heard a few “Happy Memorial Day Weekends” being thrown around here and there over the past few days. Regardless, I hope everyone is enjoying an extended weekend! I’m writing this from Old Orchard Beach in […]
You would think that with Boston Calling kicking off today that I’d have my fill of live music for the month- but that is rarely the case when it comes to me.
