Now you’ve seen my spring break trip to Boston through Instagram and had an in-depth look at the Museum of Fine Arts and the North End. But there’s still a lot from my trip that I haven’t discussed: watching Teletubbies at my sister’s co-ed fraternity, seeing NFL Patriots Jordan Devey and Bryan Stork reading aloud…
Boston pro tip: the Museum of Fine Arts is free on Wednesdays after 4pm. And while I’m not a huge fan of art museums, I love getting a good deal–and free is a very good price. My sister and I aimed to be at the MFA right when the discount began, but life happens and by…

I’ve accomplished the first one (score) and the last one is highly improbable. The second is doable, but difficult. Mostly because I live in two places. For instance, WordPress is hosting a Press Publish conference in…
Despite its holes, this fence is a wall between space developed by humans and space reserved for nature. It separates swampy marshlands from sidewalks at one of my favorite nearby parks. That park will never fail to remind me of the better times from high school: walking around its forest perimeter on dates, lazing around on…
