Months ago I had a huge plan for this past weekend – I made a calendar and thought I had all the time in the world to train, train, train for the Cleveland Marathon’s 5K. Then life got in the way. While I was able to squeeze in a run on the treadmill most weeks and kept up […]

Making Our Escape to Geneva-on-the-Lake

As a kid, my favorite time of year would be when we’d travel down to the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia during the summer. Mornings would be spent waking up to the sound of the waves outside our windows, followed by days fishing, swimming, and rowing. If I wasn’t in the water, I’d be nearby – […]

Cleveland Play House's New Ground Theatre Festival

I’ve written a lot over the last season about the changes going on at Cleveland Play House this season – from their move downtown to their increased dedication to audience engagement. It’s been an exciting ride seeing a theatre that’s almost 100 years old not be content to rest on its laurels and…

Fashion Week Cleveland's Forward Momentum
