About a year ago I was adamant about kicking off the new decade with a bang, and I’m pleased to say I succeeded. From clean energy rights conventions in the streets of San Antonio, to hosting a party at the House of Blues in Vegas, to bowling a strike on my first try at the [...]
While visiting the National Archives over the holiday, Maury, Nate and I were hit with a technophobic realization — and it wasn’t the result of having born first-hand witness to the original copies of the Magna Carta and women’s suffrage amendment. Rather, we all stepped back in disbelief, when standing in line to view my [...]
This week I’m wrapping up one of the most adventurous, romantic, ambitious (yet incredibly challenging) years in my life, and I’m happy to be at home in Washington, DC, with my best friend from college Mr. Nate Moore, who has been an excellent house guest.

I’m proud to announce that I’ve accepted a job with the Energy Action Coalition, a DC-based network of about 50 environmental rights groups committed to solving the root problem we face in America today: a dependence on dirty, unsustainable foreign oil and a climate in peril.

We’re gathering some of them together to discuss [...]

The whimsical tone in her voice implied that her relatively interesting day job was not half as rewarding as the passion project she feeds in [...]
As usual, in the midst of my daily battle to compete as a top blogger extraordinaire, I’ve been ignoring most of the logistical details of my never-ending cross-country move. For months since I’ve been bicoastal I’ve had no idea where half my stuff was: in Jacqueline’s Gramercy Park apartment, at my house in Highland Park, [...]
Much like the way I came to appreciate some of society’s great phenomenons such as “The OC” after the fact, I finally ventured into Second Life last night as a guest on “Virtually Speaking.” (Note my hot avatar provided by the VS team, including the not-exactly-true-to-life long legs.) Jay Ackroyd (a.k.a. Jimbo Hoyer) and I [...]
