New Beginnings in September

August 29, 2013May 15, 2019 Jo Tango

I’m in Harvard Square this morning, at one of my favorite coffee places. I’m waiting to meet some entrepreneurs. The above cappuccino seems almost too pretty to touch. Outside, it is chilly, breezy and overcast. A light rain is starting to fall. Moving trucks are appearing around town, as students begin to move back in.

Refreshed and Ready

August 8, 2013November 23, 2013 Jo Tango

The Importance of Date Night

August 3, 2013September 27, 2013 Jo Tango

My wife and I went out last night. We grabbed sushi and then went to the Red Sox game. It was a beautiful time to hit the ballpark (see above photo). Warm, slight breeze, and already a playoff-vibe among the high-energy crowd, as the Sox and the Rays compete to lead the division. It was
