Boston.TV is looking for a fulltime blogger-type person. After a couple of e-mails, I'm still not sure exactly what the job entails, but if you know video and want to get paid to blog, contact Ted Wayman at ted@boston.tv.

With that I'd add: thinking all Boston arear customs and advertizing are the norm
I was a nanny outside of San
I was a nanny outside of San Francisco for many years and they had a February break. My cousin's children in NY have a February break. So do my relatives in NJ. So maybe not most places, but all places I've been familiar with.
