My story

I started this as a place to put all the things I'm constantly texting people. What I've bought, what I'd recommend, what I'd skip, and what I've had to figure out the hard way.

Part running list, part filter. Less inspiration, more editing. With a hint of observational humor once in a while.

I live just outside Boston after 30+ years in Florida and 20+ summer visits to Nantucket, which means I have strong opinions about coats, ferry schedules, and anything labeled "coastal" that isn't actually coastal. I travel a lot, pay attention when I do, and have been known to plan a trip around a restaurant.

By day I work in real estate, which mostly means paying attention to details, presentation, and what makes people say yes. That same lens shows up here.

Some of what I write is a list. Some of it is a story. Some of it is an observation I couldn't let go of until I wrote it down.

This isn't a perfectly curated space. It's a well-edited one.
