Sorry, I’m pessimistic) upon an audience of (HOPEFULLY) hundreds ...
Over the past couple weeks, my eternal search for a way to kill time has led me to Union Square in Somerville. I have fallen in love with the area, and I’m eager to share it with all of you.

It’s that time of the year again to look around your living room and decide if you want to give it another year with these clowns.

As we all take an extra bit of time to make sure we are doing the best we can for our planet and thinking about plugging into groups working to ...
I just spent the past several days exploring Greece, both Athens and Santorini.

And ...

As an aggressively Eurocentric American, I am aware that I have neglected a great part of the world in my musical analyses over these past several weeks.

An unfortunate storyline has surrounded this season’s Celtics, defined by uncertain leadership and frustratingly inconsistent play.

Recently, I seized the opportunity by registering for the “Boston Half Half Half Half Half Marathon." ...
It’s playoff season for the Celtic army, and it started with a win that was as underwhelming as underwhelming can be.
