Oh Banana Boy!


My friend and I were in L.A. last week for work. It had been a long day and we were exhausted, hungry and a little carsick riding in the back of a cab to catch a train (which apparently is very un-L.A. to use public transportation) when I look over and see a banana peel shut into the hatch back of a jeep. I mean, seriously, is this dude for real?! Laziness? Lack of attention to detail? Big rush? What sort of mentality leads to such a thing? This one had me laughing all the way to Santa Monica Blvd...

I Heart Boston

I had to come to Boston to meet with some people for work and I suddenly now totally appreciate it. Maybe it is the streak of mild weather they had while I was in town or the delicious, fun dinner in Chinatown, but either way this city is a blast. You get the city life while it also maintains an endearing quaintness.

5 Things that make Boston rock in comparison to NYC:
-I can walk and actually make it across the city in a reasonable amount of time without ANY mode of transportation.
-Instead of suit jackets, professional gentlemen wear fleece vests or fleece jackets over their button-down shirts and ties; very bold.
-Boston subways are clean and indicative of a civilized society.
-There is exciting U.S. history around every corner.
-Two words: Boston accents!
