Pop Culture Lunch Box focuses on Music, Books, DC, Movies, TV, Travel, Cocktails, History, Communications, Marketing, Transportation, and more. The site launched in 2009. I write this USA Today-approved blog because I love writing, honing my skills, capturing what I'm doing with my life, and reflecting. And hopefully you find enjoyment here too!
