As I write this, I’m chugging water and eating a corn muffin for dinner. Exotic right? Well, my dinner is about one bazillion times less exciting and pretty as my day was. But, hey… I’m in YOSEMITE and it’s Day 3. Newsflash? It’s pretty great. But I’m oddly sore from a combo of driving for…
I’ve pretty much only planned this adventure only 24 hours in advance. I’ll say that a lot in the next few posts. But on day 1 of this journey, I checked into the Hilton Union Square Hotel …. in the midst of a 4,000 person Halloween party. I’m not a fan of Halloween. I don’t…
On Wednesday, I tweeted that I would only make myself some soft pretzel tots if I went for a run on Thursday. It was very well intentioned. I really thought I would go for the run. But then it rained. And. I got some cavities filled. So, instead I felt sorry for myself and gummed…
Several several several weeks ago I wrote about some of my favorite moments of the summer…. and that included Hurricane Waffles. I actually can’t believe Hurricane Waffles was like a lifetime ago. Time flies when you’re having fun… or perhaps just when you’re flying. Hurricane Waffles were inspired by this Cupcakes and Cashmere post that…
I’m a master of procrastination. Instead of working on my new apartment or planning my upcoming West Coast trip…. I’ve watching entire seasons of sitcoms and played with family pictures. It’s oddly fascinating looking at pictures of my parents before I existed. It’s almost as though they couldn’t possibly exist without me. I’ve also walked…
Every time my brother sees me he asks if I’m enjoying “retirement”. Saturday was a mix of productive retirement and Bravo tv. Last weekend, I made a trip to World’s End in Hingham, and it didn’t disappoint. This weekend, I went to Weir River Farm in Hingham. It also didn’t disappoint, but in a very…
I took this picture yesterday morning on my walk by the beach Yesterday was my last day at my job. I really think its the first job I’ve ever quit. I’ve had a handful of jobs over the years (bookstore employee, lifeguard, auditor, graduate assistant, etc) but I don’t think I’ve honestly ever “quit” really…
I love technology there are no two ways about it. So, when on Monday I left my cellphone in the Philly Airport bathroom…. I knew it would be an issue. But, there are a lot of things I do besides use the phone to make calls. So, I decided to make a brief list of…
My family jokes that when I’m not traveling I have a hard time leaving the neighborhood. Since my failed attempt to move into the North End, it could be easily assumed that I’d spend the weekend in the fetal position on the couch…. but I didn’t. I actually got out and explored an area I’d…
So on Friday, I tried to move into the North End. It did not go as planed. I won’t give you all the great details but suffice to say: Crazy Rain. the landlord decided to install new floors. he didn’t finish. there was a saw in the living room the parking permit I paid for…
