Upcoming Events for CLE's Young Professionals

2 Ways to Party at the Cleveland Zoo this August

When Scott and I attended the Cleveland Zoological Society’s ZippityZooDoo last month, we had so much fun we didn’t want to leave at the end of the evening. We even tried to hide among the meerkats: For obvious reasons (Scott’s too tall), our disguise didn’t work and we had to say our farewells to the elephants and flamingos and head […]

Hour 24 and counting: Late-night thoughts on The Avengers

Why am I awake at 5am posting on my blog without having gone to sleep last night? I think this photo explains it all: Yes, that’s me waiting for the midnight showing of Marvel’s The Avengers to start. After a few years of looking forward to this blockbuster and several weeks of working hard to avoid as many spoilers […]
