Today: In a New York minute.
This weekend my friend Kristine and I completed our second Revlon/EIF Run for Women. The event races money for research on and prevention of cancer in women. With over 30,000 people participating, Times Square was a sea of runners and walkers. A few scenes from…

Today: Troll alert!
The weather was so lovely this weekend, I couldn’t resist a little exploring. On my way home to visit my parents on Saturday, I stopped at Victory Road Park in Dorchester, sandwiched right between the bay and the Expressway. The park is accessible by a…
