Press the “Like” button on Halloween in the City for me. I love the personal expression we’ll see this week – and weekend. The place is full of laughter, satire, and send-ups. Dressing up also gives me a way to make statements about who I am; what I’m about; and what I like. Sometimes, there’s […]

A look inside my head — and what’s on my desk: Started with my meditation for the week: This became my September 11, reflection. Meditation must also include music: And, a look at an assortment of my week’s tabs — the essential reads: Go Ellen! Reminder that it’s never too early to think about the […]

Boston University will acknowledge the tenth anniversary of the September 11, attacks through several observances.
