About Me: I lived in metro Boston for 25 years and summered in Scituate for over 20, as well. Emmanuel and Boston College degrees. Have currently 7 cats, taken from the street, feed 3 ferals whom I trapped, neutered and returned and they come every day for supper, have a dog who was in 3 shelters and he bit me at least 12 times in 5 years, but he's part Chihuahua and only 8.5 lbs. Retired, married and am a little over 60. Consider Boston to be H-O-M-E. Not a lover of NYC, where we live in a suburb style house. Rarely go to Manhattan even though it's close by! What for?

Gomez was much worse than a hedge fund manager. Scratch the surface, folks. He worked on buy-outs. You know, he's a B school grad who all too typically went out for himself while screwing others: more »

Oprah Winfrey? They had to be kidding. But they weren't. I thought I wasn't able to be shocked anymore. I was wrong.
