The Richness of Autumn in New England


Travelling by Amtrak's Downeaster this morning, looking out the window at mother nature's canvas, I am reminded of why I like this season so much. The early morning hour enhances the red's and yellow's and the still waters reflect the still leaf laden trees. Since returning from Hawaii, I have taken on a full time marketing job at Kendall Press in Cambridge. One of the many bonuses of this position is the monthly rail pass that allows me to think, plan and write while riding the rails.

This past month I've had the dual opportunities of working with YELP's event at Microsoft's New England Research and Development (NERD) center during the week and working with Patrick Dempsey at Central Maine Medical Center at the Dempsey Challenge. Patrick is both humble and very giving of himself and his time. Look for a series of published photos and stories coming out in November on this. One of the photos here is Patrick Demspey with George Hincapie (7 time tour d'France winner who also rode with Lance Armstrong). And how cool is it to see them looking at the pictures from my Hawaii assignment.

Helping small business via my specialty of Visual Imagery in Marketing is greatly satisfying for me. The perks along the way aren't bad either.
