When it comes to new year’s resolutions, we all know how difficult it is to find the motivation to stick to them. If your resolution has to do with losing weight or just maintaining a healthier lifestyle (which are two of mine!), the difficulty usually lies in just getting out the front door. This year it may [...]
It may be getting colder but that’s no excuse to stay on the couch. Alright, I must admit that I also find it difficult to go outside and run with the cold wind of Boston, but we need to remain active during the fall and winter seasons. There are many other options besides running to choose [...]
“If everybody had an ocean across the USA, then everybody’d be surfin’ …” The Beach Boys sang it out loud in their song “Surfin’ USA”. They made us consider the idea of leaving everything and just go surfing. This sport seems to never go out of mode, right now there are thousands of people catching waves [...]

Even as an avid golfer, I usually find 20 [...]
Growing up in Massachusetts, I have always known Patriots’ Day to be a widely celebrated and well known holiday. It was not until I got to college and made friends with people from other parts of the country that I first realized the geographical limits of this holiday. I have come to terms with the [...]
As Mother Nature eases up with her wintry abuses, it becomes possible to venture outside without seventeen jackets on, and an amazing thing happens. There are sightings of Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Orioles all across the country. No, I am not talking about migratory birds returning to their summer homes, I am talking about baseball [...]
