Courtney tagged me for the “seven things” meme. I probably shouldn’t open the post that way, lest you say to yourself, “ick. a meme. I never read those masturbatory odes to oneself.“ But there’s no test at the end, so if you want to skip learning seven things about me, that’s cool. But before you [...]

It don’t mean a thing…
True to my word, I have left the house and done something every night this month. Most nights I just went to the gym, but I always met someone there, so I consider that going out. Last night it was cold, my couch was comfy, and I came close to staying in with a bowl [...]

This is my hometown
Thanks for all your support yesterday! Now I have some added pressure to keep on posting… It got me thinking about why I started doing this in the first place, to document my move from New York City to the Hudson Valley. So I’m getting back to my roots today. I went for a long [...]

October: so that happened
If you’re wondering why I still have a Halloween-themed header, it’s because I’m subscribing to the Halloween holiday extender theory, which means we should keep celebrating Halloween way into November to starve off overly-early Christmas decorations. Yup, that’s what I’m doing. In no way did I simply forget to take a new photo for the [...]

Pants!
Thanks everyone, for the comments on yesterday’s post. In the course of my adult life, I’ve felt all the combinations: happy while in a relationship, sad while in a relationship, happy while single and now sad while single. I would never go so far as to say that I’m depressed, but I do tend to [...]

Leap Day
As I mentioned earlier, I’m taking the day off today. Because Julius Caesar couldn’t quite figure out how to make all the days fit in one year, we get this marvelous extra day every four years, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste it with something silly like earning a living. Imagine what [...]

Tuesday Eleven plus one
I can’t get motivated to work right now. I just finished lunch, I’m going to see if writing 11 12 random things about me will inspire me to write the company newsletter for the week. (Which is the thing I do at work on Tuesdays.) There’s some Mardi Gras stuff happening in New Orleans right [...]
