Shifting, shaking. Pancake making. 14 Aug 2013 | 08:00 pm
Oh wow. The radio silence here is unimpressive. The summer's been a great one, but I've been far too busy on the go, uprooting, reconfiguring to write much about it. My biggest summer agenda item had ...
Patriotic 11 Jul 2013 | 01:11 am
I spent the 4th in Westchester with the Brunch Bunch. Augie and Sprout came, too. We drove up to Maggie's parents' place in the morning and took a walk to the water. The heat was suffocating everywher...
Oh, summer! 3 Jul 2013 | 04:27 am
Things have kind of lapsed around here over the past few months. Despite my amazingly flexible schedule this summer, and the marvelous adventures one right after the other, I'm doing a spectacular job...
Summer Reading 11 Jun 2013 | 02:52 am
Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons (1930). A perfect book (a 12-book series, actually) to get readers into the summer spirit. The book chronicles the summer adventures of four siblings camping out ...
The Commute 23 May 2013 | 09:11 pm

A few good ones from Providence lately. I was on my way to meet a pal for lunch on the side of town I never never see and got to take a great walk past beautiful towering mansions. Lots of trips to th...
At the Chicago Art Institute 18 Mar 2013 | 06:00 pm
My two good pals and I snuck away from the conference we attended in Chicago earlier this month to check out the Art Institute. Naturally, I hadn't budgeted nearly enough time to see all the amazing t...
Another one about soup 15 Mar 2013 | 05:59 am
I've been making this white bean soup for dinner at least twice a week for the past few. It's really quick to prepare (which is good, because I'm a slow klutz in the kitchen), and even though it looks...
And whoa, there went February. 5 Mar 2013 | 06:51 am
I worked through this past weekend, but took enough blog-reading breaks to catch up on some of my favorites around the web talking about how horrible February was for people and how glad they are that...
