Yeah, it was a blast... something Chevy Chase (Clark Griswold) may even be envious of!

Wadsworth, OH -- It's where I grew up, but looking forward to moving to an urban environment in the near future... maybe one of the many great neighborhoods of Cleveland like Ohio City or Larchmere!
A favorite website?
CNN.com During undergrad, I set it as my home page to keep up-to-date with what's going on in the world because it's so easy to be detached in the 'bubble.' To this day it serves as my home page, and I have no plans to switch it!
