Here at BnA HQ, we’re all decently active runners - note the insert of the word “active” so I can apply that statement to myself. I’m defintely slower than Sean, Chris and Donovan but I still get out and about. From the office we have three ‘lunch loops’ that are awesome for running [...]

So, it’s common after a big race for all the triathletes to write up race reports and send them out on listserves. I’m not quite that cool, but I am pretty psyched about finishing the race so I figured I’d tell you guys all the details. WARNING: It’s pretty boring unless you’re into [...]

Law of the NBA: Stern discipline
Date: May 5th, 2005 | No Comments
As a former rabid basketball fan (I lived in Chicago in the early ’90s), I still poke around in the sports section, especially during the playoffs. Times columnist Eric Gilmore has written what I consider to be a excellent, scathing article of the head honcho of the NBA in Law of the NBA: Stern discipline. [...]

This really has nothing to do with what’s going on in the office, but some of you may recall that a few months ago I posted about Pacific Crest Half-Ironman in June. In order to prepare, I have been training a whole bunch and this weekend did my first triathlon. It was a [...]

For years, we have resisted these warnings and encouraged travelers to set out and explore the world on their own [...]

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]
Events
Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
