Definitely not Accounting

What’s your dream job? As much as I love my job I think that my next career would be something with kids or helping people. I don’t have a dream job per se but there are things that I would love to do. It would not be sitting at a desk all day. I wouldContinue reading “Definitely not Accounting”

Cross country

Think back on your most memorable road trip. I drove cross country in my 20s to start a new life, or at least a change. The journey started with my aunt and her friend. We had 2 cars and 3 drivers. My car was packed with my stuff, ready for my new adventure. It wasContinue reading “Cross country”

The Door Knob

Last year my family and I were in Spain. We rented an apartment (I’m sorry to the locals that we are doing this). It was a building probably done in the mid 20th century and it had a European appearance (duh). The door to the apartment had the knob in the center of the door.Continue reading “The Door Knob”

Manga

What is your favorite place to go in your city? The North End, Boston’s “Little Italy”. The food is fantastic and it has an old world charm about it. I try to go there at least once a year. I was there a couple months ago for a work event and walked through there. I’veContinue reading “Manga”

He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

Describe a family member. My bother is about 6 years older. As kids he would waffle between looking after me and torturing me. He was a good big brother and I always thought he and his friends were cool. When our dad died young, my brother took over as a surrogate father. He took careContinue reading “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”

Perfect 10

What are your top ten favorite movies? 10? Yikes, I’m not sure but here goes. Movies that I love, made me think, or are just comforts. I’m not putting in quotes, sue me. That was easier than I thought, definitely thought of some others but this will do. Now I want popcorn and milk duds.

More sleep

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? I don’t have the best sleeping habits. I try to go to bed early but sometimes I stay up late doing something silly or I fall asleep on the couch. I’m trying to be mindful of having restful sleep with no interruptions.

Family vacations

Have you ever been camping? In the 80s my family has a leisure van, I probably could have omitted “In the 80s”. It had captains seats in the front and a bench seat in the back so we sat sideways but had a great view of everything. We traveled a lot in it, going toContinue reading “Family vacations”

I get more done by 9:00 am than most people do all day

When do you feel most productive? I get up early before work and try to bang out a project, clean or get my run in. I feel better knowing that I can cross one thing off my list. This time of year when the sun rises early I can be up at 5:00. I may,Continue reading “I get more done by 9:00 am than most people do all day”

Teamwork makes the dream work

My sweet old dog has trouble going up the stairs, or even finding the stairs. I help her out by either lifting her up or just picking her up. I tell her “We are all in this together”. She can’t hear me but it makes me feel good to let her know that I haveContinue reading “Teamwork makes the dream work”
