Welcome to the life and times of Sooz where I've been documenting my work and life adventures since 2002. Work = Sooz Media, my consulting business for web marketing, website project management, event planning and event photography.

Bloggers @ A.R.T.

Michael is at it again with a humorous write up about ten people in Boston who he'd like to see disappear. 9. Whoever made the 66 Bus schedule. It should be nominated for a National Book Award in the Fiction category. Though I guess it's honest, after a fashion; they promise four buses an hour,...
