He got into an argument with some former Harvard squash players who hadn’t quite gotten past losing to Trinity during their Harvard days. In true Trinity fashion, all bad feelings were later settled over drinks. As for myself, I’ve been spending a lot of time reading the entertaining food blogs that Emily Lee writes for the Food Network. They are fantastic, and I encourage you all to check them out on the Food Network website! I hope you will join me in congratulating our classmates on their numerous milestones, both personal and professional. Thank you to everyone who wrote in with updates, and I sincerely hope to hear from more of you in the coming months. Feel free to get in touch with me through e-mail at james.armillay@gmail.com, or look me up on Facebook or LinkedIn. In the meantime, stay warm, 2012!

On an entrepreneurial note, some of my fellow North Campus residents, Drew Meagher, RJ Ugolik, Rob Gau, Mac Morse, and Stefan Harnes are busy building Mugatunes, a music discovery company they founded while students at Trinity. Drew tells me that they are doing quite well at this stage, and they recently moved into their headquarters in Boston. I know that Long Walk residents enjoyed their music during Spring Weekend and Senior Week, and I am looking forward to following their future successes. Best of luck to everyone!
