Welcoming the Year of the Ox
It was a mild and beautiful Sunday for the Lunar New Year Parade & Festival in Chinatown. What a glorious afternoon! The confetti storms against the crisp blue sky were beautifully surreal and color, dance and cheer party-popped through the streets to frighten the evil spirits that may impede on a fruitful year.

1) Section 6, 2) noble is the view, 3) charge your phone
After weeks of planning a surprise birthday get-away, Wok Man only revealed the above hints. “Section 6″, which I thought maybe be a seat location at a concert, was the segment of the Metacomet-Monadnock trail we were to hike. This 114 mile trail that spans Connecticut to New Hampshire and has been on my “before [...]
