The Embrace in Boston, MA
The Embrace is a bronze sculpture by Hank Willis Thomas and MASS Design Group. It is installed on Boston Common. The artwork commemorates Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Wikipedia notes that not a lot of folks like it, but I do – the details of the hands and the sheer size of…

The Great Elephant Migration Public Art Installation in Boston, MA
On my first day of vacation, I took the kiddo and my mom to go check out 100+ elephant sculptures hand-carved by indigenous artisans from India using an invasive weed called katana camera that has overtaken Indian forests and displaced local wildlife. We started on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall off of Dartmouth Street and were…

BTS Day One at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro
I hadn’t planned on going to see BTS because the thought of having to drive in to the stadium on a weekday was not appealing to me. But then, my friend Q called and said her brother couldn’t make it so he was selling his tickets and would I like to go? The husband wasn’t…

Serious and Wicked Fun Times at The WBUR Festival
This event has been a year in the making and it was wonderful to see it all come together and experience it. So many teams came together to pull this off and it was so satisfying to hear positive responses from the attendees. The weather was beautiful for day one…not so much for day two…

Subway Delays…
because of signal issues. Why is it always some sort of signal issue on the Orange line? I saw the estimated time go from 15 minutes to a flashing message stating the train was stopped. The platform was getting super packed and I was pretty sure that if the train pulled in, I probably wasn’t…

The Return of Snow…
it has been awhile since we’ve gotten substantial snow. I haven’t had to wear my Sorel snow boots for the past few years. It was with deep resignation and acceptance when I saw all the snow in front of me that would have to be cleared. I played some Taylor Swift and just got to…

Snow Day in Boston
So glad we got out to the hill early in the morning yesterday because once everyone showed up in the afternoon it was complete mayhem as sleds and tubes zipped by in all directions. The funniest moment was seeing a little kid screaming as a tube was headed right at them. There was SO much…

2025 MA Conference for Women
It was a great event to attend — I was most excited to listen to Simone Biles. To be in the same room with 11k other folks and breathing the same air as the goat was enough for me ☺️ 9:30AMArrived at the convention center. Got off at the Chinatown T stop and then walked.…

Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood
I stand corrected that the age gap is more like 15 years, but I didn’t think it was that significant of a gap. The bigger story to me is that it’s from the same universe as Not In Love. It wasn’t my favorite of Ali’s books but now I want to go back to it…
