Being back home has been an adjustment, to say the least. My mind and my body are still very much running on West Coast time, which has made my sleep and meal schedule a little off-balance, and I’ve been spending the last couple of days desperately hitting the “reset” button to try and get myself […]
It was only a matter of time, but we’ve come up on the last couple of days of my extended West Coast journey. In a little over 24 hours I’ll be boarding a plane back to New England to ride out the remainder of my vacation before it’s time to return to work, colder weather, […]
Although I’ve been in California for nearly two weeks now, my “official” vacation didn’t kick off until today. Since my arrival at the beginning of the month, I’ve been working remotely throughout San Diego and Orange County- starting my day at four in the morning and wrapping up e-mails/tasks around 1:30 in the afternoon.

It’s my favorite holiday of the year and the best way to close out what has been a really, really fun and exciting month that was absolutely packed […]

As an avid Halloween enthusiast and horror movie fan, I know that Hollywood often takes many, many liberties and is prone to embellishments when creating entertainment that is “inspired by” or based upon events that actually occurred- especially when the events in question occurred in and around parts of New England.
