let’s work out: you bring the backhoe
i still can’t believe that it’s already july 29 and the summer is more than half over. i keep trying to remind myself that i spent half of it wandering around the city with two broken elbows, looking like a freak in two medical slings, trying to smile instead of roll my eyes at people [...]

it’s raining cats and dogs
just got home from our lovely weekend away at the lake. rochester is welcoming us back by providing a torrential downpour, which is creating large puddles below the upstairs open windows. i’m feeling like i’ve had very little to offer creatively here. i’m in the middle of a yucky 24-hour detox in order to prep [...]

on holiday
Heading to Waneta Lake in the finger lakes for a long weekend with some close friends, their kids, and a sweet pup named Dozer. Looking forward to long warm days of reading, playing games, sipping mojitos, and lots of swimming. Enjoy the weekend! (photo from aubrey road via a picture is worth a thousand words)
