JP makes my 100th post

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

This is my 100th post! It seems like it should be way more than that – how anticlimactic. But to be honest I am pretty excited about the accomplishment. As close as I am to Jamaica Plain I never really take the time to check it out. I have heard so much about its cool […]
