Don’t be a Halloweenie!
Cobwebs in the air, orange and purple lights flashing, ghouls swaying in the wind– it must be All Hallows Eve! Try not to light the Black Flame Candle, get back from Halloweentown before midnight, and try not to get rocks in your candy bag! Fun cultural references aside, tonight is one of the most dangerous … Read More
Slowpoke or Die Trying
It was the summer of 2013. I was driving to visit my then boyfriend, who lived out in the boonies of Southwest Virginia. A lovely area, I was not thoroughly practiced in driving there and thus, was driving a bit more carefully than I normally did. My GPS, Saxton Hale, had crisply told me in … Read More
Our Day of Action is Coming Up!
Often, potential clients and random people on the street ask me, “How is your law office different?” I always have some great answers from, “Well every Friday Tom brings in bagels,” or, “We get cake every birthday!” (Food is obviously the most important thing to me), but in all seriousness, there are many factors that … Read More

Yes, it is nearly that time of the year when roses sell for more than premium gas, when old, under-tempered chocolate is consumed by the ton, and when every person is miserable, single or not. It … Read More
Keep the Bowl Super
Full disclosure: the only football game I will watch is the Army Navy Game and that comes from years of mandatory viewings thanks to my dad, (sink Navy!). After 4 years of college, I can count on one hand how many football games I attended and I definitely never sat through all 4 quarters. But, … Read More
One Day Out There
Between Snowzilla last weekend and The Great Freeze this past week, winter is finally upon us and making up for lost time. It was fun at first, jumping into snow drifts that covered our heads (preferably in bathing suits), getting a few days off (or if you’re a teacher, a full week), but with all … Read More
