Introducing... NYC and Beyond!

So for those of you keeping track of my eating habits, here's a new outfit to try on. I've decided to branch out and do a bit of travel blogging. There will probably be more about NYC (my home these past 3+ years) than is good for a mortal to consume, but there you have it.

My first posts that follow will tell of this month's adventures to the Pacific Northwest, where I had never been before and which I now regard possibly the most beautiful place I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. I hope to follow up with some NYC-related travel tips. My next adventure out of town isn't planned for another three months, so forgive me if time lapses and my posts do likewise. 

While I certainly hope to gain a following here at Blogger, the truth is I am getting back up on the writing horse after a hiatus of nearly two years. I'm applying for jobs, and I recently landed my first official NYC writing gig (yeah, me!). In the meantime, these (mostly) irony-free posts will allow me to hone my technique and offer up some writing samples to prospective employers. 

Of course, if you're reading this, I thank you and welcome your comments and/or following!
