And we're off!

In just a few hours, I'll be headed to CVG to jump on a 3 hour flight to DEN followed by a 50 minute flight to HDN...that's right, Steamboat Springs here we come! Keeping with my goal of comparing and contrasting Cincinnati and Boston, one great thing about Cincinnati is the central location, making domestic travel SLIGHTLY easier. Denver is a 3 hour (and a few minutes) flight from Cincinnati (or rather Kentucky where the airport lies), whereas Boston is a 4 hour (and several minutes) trip. The downside is that flights in and out of CVG are becoming few and far between. In terms of food options, it's a toss up. BOS has several Legal Seafoods throughout the airport; CVG has Chick-fil-A. Sadly for this traveler, I won't be in the Chick-fil-A terminal today.

Happy weekend, everyone!

New Year, New City, New Life, New Blog

From this...

...to this


I am finally ready to commit...to a blog. In the spirit of New Year's Resolutions, I have outlined a few goals and thoughts about this page:

Background
Born in Massachusetts, raised in Connecticut, and educated in upstate New York...see a geographic trend?
Moved to Cincinnati from Boston in September 2009.

Fun Fact
My mom's family is originally from Cincinnati; in fact, both grandparents were born and raised in Southwestern Ohio. Despite this, I have no immediate family in the area.

The Goals
1. Research and share my local family history

2. Illustrate, OBJECTIVELY, the subtle and not so subtle differences between the Northeast and the Midwest

3. Offer my reflections on a New Year, New City, and New Life

Stay tuned...
