March 10, 2024 Another International Women’s Day has come and gone. I spent the day teaching a class on building a personal brand, and then briefing some math stuff to some potential future clients.

Red Flags
March 2, 2024 Hellllllllllo blog people in the year 2024! It’s great to be here again. I took a little break and made my site private for a bit, but now I’m ready to get back in the over-sharing, self-depreciating, under-whelming-the-masses-with-my-prose, connecting-words-with-dashes, swing of things. Thanks for stopping by! I had a lesson in redContinue reading “Red Flags”
People Have 401(k)s, Rebecca
September 12, 2023 The Crystal City Sports Pub (CCSP) is an American institution. Okay, it’s actually a family-owned (and family friendly!) sports bar in a neighborhood in Arlington, VA that is two metro stops away from the Pentagon. It’s on a hip little street (23rd) surrounded by other restaurants and bars, a consignment shop, aContinue reading “People Have 401(k)s, Rebecca”
Introducing: Rebecca’s Love Equation
September 23, 2023 It’s a tale as old as time. Girl meets boy. Girl goes on dates with boy. Girl cooks dinner for boy. Girl catches feelings for boy. Boy starts being distant.

Rebecca’s Love Equation: Scarier than the undertaker, we are meeting our matchmaker
September 28, 2023 Alright, let’s talk about the dating apps. It is absolutely baffling to me that there are people my age who have never experienced these dating apps, because I feel like I’ve been on and off of them for all of my adult life – at least the entire portion of my adultContinue reading “Rebecca’s Love Equation: Scarier than the undertaker, we are meeting our matchmaker”
How to Lose a Guy in 21 Days
October 23, 2023 Every time I actually use the little water filter on my refrigerator (which is rare because I don’t have the patience for it when the water from the tap on my sink comes out so much faster) I make the same mistake. Due to my impatience and inability to stand still, IContinue reading “How to Lose a Guy in 21 Days”

The Things I Would Do To John Snow (not Jon Snow)
September 20,2023 While reading the Washington Post this weekend, I saw an article titled, “Washington is full of rats. These dogs are happy to help with that.” Okay, I’m listening…tell me more. The article was a ride. The first two lines were some of the best journalistic prose I’ve ever read. Listen to this: “TheContinue reading “The Things I Would Do To John Snow (not Jon Snow)”
Like Talking to a Brick Wall
September 15, 2023 I got invited to do a “hot sauce interview” at work. We filmed it today. When I read the invite for the initial discussion about the “hot sauce interview”, I shrugged and thought “must be a code name for something.” In my line of work, projects often have funny little names –Continue reading “Like Talking to a Brick Wall”
