A Few of My Favorite Things: January 2022

The first “Favorite Things” post of a New Year always feels like the most exciting- because it’s an array of items, products and oddities I’ve essentially been accumulating over the course of the holidays and finally get to talk about at length and in detail- and this first assortment of 2022 is no different!

Another Year Around The Sun…

Another January nearly complete and another year older for yours truly! This past weekend marked my [redacted]-th birthday, and my second one celebrated in the midst of an ongoing global pandemic.

Eating in Public…

The town of North Adams is not particularly far from me (it takes just under an hour to get there from my apartment, give or take) and is one of those places I keep vowing to visit more frequently given all the unique and interesting things there are in the area to see and experience- […]

Belated-Holiday-Everything…

Although Christmas was a few weeks ago and I’m officially back to working my usual full-time schedule (and doing my radio show as normal!)– I feel like the couple of weeks following New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day are some of the busiest and most-traveled days I experience- especially in these ongoing times of COVID-19. With […]
