Summer is Always too short

It has been a wonderful and very busy summer for me. I have still not found a job but I had a couple of interviews yesterday which is a step in the right direction. While not interviewing or writing cover letters I have been playing and traveling all over New England. The Boston area has been busy with concerts, kareoke, Red Sox games and watermelon festivals which have been wonderful. I have also spent time with friends at their lakehouses in Vermont and Maine which were summer paradises. I have just returned from a few days at Julia's new apartment in NYC where we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge for Grimaldi's pizza, went to Serendipity for frozen hot chocolate, visited the met, walked around central park and took the ferry to staten island. Next week Lara and I are heading up to yet another lake in Maine for a couple of days which will be perfect in the predicted 90 degree heat. I hope all of your summers are going well and you are keeping cool :)

Back Home

I have now been back home for a little over a month, although most of it has not been spent at home. I spent a beautiful memorial day with Jillian up in NH at family friend's Chris and Pito's house. We learned to golf and spent hours on the boat and in the frigid water. Soon after returning from NH I headed down to the Smoky mountains for a Brown family reunion. We stayed at a huge house with a view of the mountains and had a wonderful time exploring the area, hiking and white water rafting. When not traveling I have been spending time with many high school and college friends that I am lucky to have in the area to entertain me. Some outing highlights have been camping in P-town, hiking Mt. Monadnock (the second most hiked mountain on earth), going to concerts and catching up with friends that I haven't seen in a while. On a less fun note, I have also been spending a lot of time applying for jobs. I am looking at international non-profits and also worldwide adventure tour companies but so far no success at either. This weekend I am heading up to spend the predicted 100 degree days on a lake in maine which is definitely the best way to spend a summer day. I hope everyone is staying cool and if you have any job ideas please email me.
