TUESDAY - 29 ACROSS: LET'S CALL HIM OLIVER
Any scenario that ends with me hugging someone who isn’t hugging me back hasn’t exactly gone as planned.
TUESDAY - 29 ACROSS: THE DAUGHTER
There are few things worse than flying home for your father’s funeral, but I managed to find one: flying home for your father’s funeral while sitting next to a screaming child. On a 14-hour flight.
TUESDAY - 29 ACROSS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME—TWENTY-FINE

TUESDAY - 29 ACROSS: THE RELUCTANT BOSTONIAN
INTRODUCTORY POST
Boston has yet to open its arms to me. It’s a place for insiders and people with an innate sense of direction, neither of which I am.

Born in Milwaukee, raised in Maryland, and a brief stint in Memphis. More recently, Emily spent three years abroad as a reporter for The Cambodia Daily in Phnom Penh. While she misses riding a motorbike to interviews and living in a treehouse, she does enjoy the fact that cannons are fired with regularity outside her office on Boston Harbor, and that people in New England can generally handle their snow. Her weakness? Sour cherries.
