When I started the month I knew writing one blog post everyday for an entire month would be a challenge. My previous average was about one post a month. Before the month began I made a list of topics I could cover each evening. There were only a few topics I didn’t get to that [ READ MORE ]
Thirty days! woohoo! I successfully completed National Blog Posting Month (and only had to post-date a few entries). I had planned to end the month with a bang, but posting every day is more difficult than it appears! I was hoping NaBloPoMo and blogging in general would help me improve my writing, but I don’t [...][ READ MORE ]
We started the week with Seth by going to a pizza place called Grimaldi’s. Everything I know about Grimaldi’s, I’ve learned by reading wikipedia and the Grimaldi’s and Patsy’s menus.

Be warned, this is a giant post with all the details of our touristy adventures! Monday Monday, we started with a trip to [...][ READ MORE ]
A couple days ago I was thinking that Christmas was sneaking up on me. I am not sure when it is supposed to “feel” like Christmas, but I wasn’t feeling like it was Christmastime yet. I think the main reason for this is lack of feeling is that it is so warm here in New [ READ MORE ]
We got up early today to go see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. There were people everywhere once we made it down to the parade and it was harder to find a place than we expected. After more than an hour of walking and maneuvering we found a place where we could see the floats [ READ MORE ]
I received a call at my Google Voice number today and since I didn’t recognize the number I let it go to voice mail. I found Google’s transcript to be rather amusing. You be the judge. Despite the poor transcription, the service is great.[ READ MORE ]
