I know. You all thought it was a match made in heaven four years back when I was first introduced to Chipotle by Audrey Marks and Phil Mattingly during an outing in Washington, DC. I did too. I thought we were going to be together forever. Me, with my voracious appetite for junk food, and Chipotle, with its more-than-enough-for-one-person burritos and chips. But alas, the past two weeks have really tested our relationship, and the bond just wasn’t as strong as I had once thought it to be.

Spotted: The “T”MI Girl is Back!

Everyone remembers blonde girl, Marco and the gay BFF from December’s NoMad Blog T ride reenactment, right? Well today, as I innocently walked back to my office from a mission to buy new rain boots, she waltzed back into my life when I spotted her having a conversation outside her place of business (yes, I know where she works – so does everyone else on the T that day). Not to be outdone by Marco and his overalls, she could be overheard screaming saying to a co-worker:
