The inimitable Julie Marriott

I’m not sure exactly when this was, but sometime last year I began to hear rumblings about “This girl who reminds us of you. Well, she’s blond and talks WAY more then you. But she covers sports and she’s hot!!” Curious to meet this “new blond me”, Julie and I eventually began talking online, just about the business of sports reporting and being young and well, not hideously ugly, and the implications that can have on your career. But it was only last night, nearly a year later, that we actually met. And I’m happy to say that Julie is adorable and charming, maybe a little crazy in a totally endearing way and yes, she can talk. A lot. But I love it! After days of texting back and forth and plans never matching up, we finally met on Lincoln Road for dinner at Van Dyke Cafe, dessert at Gelateria Parmelat (best EVER Dulce De Leche gelato), a short stop at Club Mynt (where I saw Janie from BB6 and nearly lost it…) and finally, drinks at Prime 112. We talked about love, sex, sports and life and I’m truly excited that if Julie lands a job out here(which is looking VERY likely) I might actually have a friend in Miami. Woot!!!!
