“The U.S. just scored a stoppage time goal to go from missing the knockout round to winning the group. THAT TOTALLY IS SOMETHING THAT JUST OCCURRED. We are going to go out into the street and start randomly kissing people now.” – Will Leitch, New York Magazine

Houses on Edgartown Harbor
There once was a time that a Saturday during the summer was spent in cool AC watching cartoons and drinking Cokes. For some reason, as an adult, that just doesn’t cut it, and just this past Saturday, with the sun hot and the breeze cool, me, my mom and Miss Katie Poff decided to take a trip to Martha’s Vineyard, where the beach, big houses and bike trails awaited us!
Waking up at 6 a.m. isn’t exactly my cup of tea, especially when physical activity awaits me at the other end, but I knew the temperature on Martha’s Vineyard was going to be a strong 85, and I’ve been waiting all winter for some ocean views. We arrived at Woods Hole around 9 a.m., parked ourselves in the Gifford Street lot, and shuttled down to the waterfront ferry with two guys discussing the best squid to catch fluke with (one of which in a Harley Davidson leather jacket – so many things wrong there).
So, all of the people I went to grad school with are pretty much amazing, and every day they each make their own great mark on the world, both big and small. And, since many of them are receiving accolades and becoming big shots in their fields of choice, I, as an only child, needed some validation that I was still loved. Enter Audrey Marks, who circulated this very important memo for your perusal:
This list (which includes two more bullet points that didn’t fit on the page) is now framed and hanging in my cubicle. I will refer to it when my spreadsheets aren’t up to par and the witty blog quips just aren’t coming as quickly. Audrey Marks, you my friend are the ultimate memo-maker.
