Me and Mom

Here's me and Mom in Matt and Rachel's in-process-of-renovation kitchen.

The Influentials

The National Arts Marketing Project Conference just launched and our keynote speaker was Ed Keller from Keller Fay Management. He's the guru of word-of-mouth marketing. Just published a book called The Influentials and I picked up a copy. What I realized during Ed's presentation is that my mom is an influential. Go mom!

Mom and Lucy Hit the Road

As me and Mom get ready to head to Teaism to make cupcakes for Matt and Rachel's wedding cake, Rachel's dog Lucy wanted to go to. Here she is in the car taking my seat.

Triathletes Across Generations

This past weekend my brother AND father participated in the New Jersey State Triathlon. Matt has been training for months. He's a super strong cyclist and runner. To get up to speed in swimming Matt trained with a professional swimmer. When I stayed with him and Rachel in DC in May and June Matt was always up early and staying out late riding his bike, plus, riding to and from work. Totally amazing. My dad is a strong cyclist and runner - swimming is also a newer sport for him.

Triathlons are really about individual athletes competing against their own best times. Ask my dad and he won't agree - it is just as much about the competition. Good thing my dad's age group only had two participants and guess what - he won a silver medal!

Above is a great shot of my mom, dad and Matt.
