The snow stops no one in this city, especially me. And 2014 wasted no time swinging into full gear.  I can’t even believe it’s already the end of the month. Looking back, it’s been extremely busy with friends from out of town visiting every weekend, filling my weeknights socializing in different social circles, and taking the time to sit in the audience of a few unique theater experiences. I’m still making my way through a long list of “to-do’s” in this city, and I haven’t been disappointed yet!
