A thin film
At least half of my childhood memories of looking out a car window are slightly clouded by a film of salt on the window. It is a weird phenomenon to me now since I live in San Francisco. I guess the only equivalent is riding on the bus and trying to see out the […]
This is what winter looks like, you pansies
I miss snow since moving to California and leaving Buffalo winters behind. Winter should not be something you have to drive to, as in “oh it snows here, you just have to drive to Tahoe.” Winter is not about it getting a little bit cold in the morning, or having to scrape frost off your […]

R.I.P. Waffle Maker 1996-2007
My waffle maker made its last waffle today. After many tasty waffles, and eleven long years, she finally went to the big appliance store in the sky.
Our relationship started 11 years ago. It was fall of 2006 and I was living in Brooklyn while attending Pratt Institute. My friend Chris and I were walking around […]
Squirrels like pizza
Vacation Story #1:
While walking through a park in Toronto last week, Natasha and I were amazed by all of the black squirrels. Not only do they look different than the squirrels we are used to here, but they also have a special affinity for pizza. We spotted “Squirrel A” on the ground eating the toppings […]
