It finally happened. I found my way to New York City (by way of The Classic East). On a very, very early flight—but we explored as much as you can possibly do in four days. Times Square, Rockefeller Center (for the Nintendo Store, obviously), the UN headquarters, Bryant Park, near the Empire State Building, Central … Continue reading New York, New York

Diving Back In
It's been a while. I could list out a ton of reasons why I haven't been posting, but honestly it's because this hasn't been a priority. With madness in my office—from a 'reinvention' that landed me with a second job title that should really go to another full-time employee, to planning a beer release party … Continue reading Diving Back In

Our magazine team (two other editors, myself, our art director) decided to take a retreat day. Instead of going into the office we all met at Amelie's in the morning and went through a … Continue reading How Brainstorming Led to Beer
The Tour Continues…
My second day in horse and wine country in Virginia was similar to the first in that it included wine, beer, and food, but entirely different. Today was a bit slower - definitely settling into the meandering lifestyle. Long drives down country roads through estate properties and equestrian stables, with a stop here and there … Continue reading The Tour Continues…
