The snow stops no one in this city, especially me. And 2014 wasted no time swinging into full gear.\u00a0 I can\u2019t even believe it\u2019s already the end of the month. Looking back, it\u2019s 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\u2019m still making my way through a long list of \u201cto-do\u2019s\u201d in this city, and I haven\u2019t been disappointed yet!<\/p>\n
