election day

One of my friends looked for a date on match.com for quite a while. She works in the elections/campaigning business, and she feels very strongly about voting and the democratic process. She is now engaged to be married (through match), but while she was looking she regaled us with tales of the men […]

I look like my picture again

The little headshot that is on my blog was taken before I left for El Salvador. While I was there, I met a few people through blog connections, and one in particular commented that I looked nothing like my picture - he talked about it for some time, I remember, and I had nothing […]

the FDR library

My friend Julia and I went to see FDR library after I finished working in NYC, even though we had both seen it before. I wouldn’t normally visit a presidential library twice (there are so many more). However, when I was up in Dutchess County last year for work, the librarians at the […]

the good and the bad

Between the time I left for El Salvador and when I arrived back, the company I work(ed) for moved offices. We are now located right across the street from the Art Institute, in the building with the poster shop. Not technically the building with the Russian Tea Room, but right next door. […]

One of the essays I read recently was about vegetarianism, specifically about a […]

no more sudoku

The Red Eye is a free little newspaper that the Chicago Trib Co puts out for the morning commuters. It contains watered down news and three pages of gossip, and it also contains a daily dose of the Trib crossword puzzle and Sudoku. I have traditionally tried to do a crossword puzzle a […]

back on the blog

I know, I know, it’s been a while since I have posted. Somehow it is as if, now that I don’t really care who reads the blog, I don’t really care who reads the blog (and so don’t feel a huge need to write). However, you’ve been emailing me and letting me know that […]

sundays and toaster ovens

I made the best butternut squash bread today, in my toaster oven. These days, my Sundays are primarily composed of making food for the week - which includes a quickbread (like banana bread or cornbread) in my toaster oven.
When I was in El Salvador, I didn’t have an oven. My stove […]

watching you watch me

For all of you who have talked to me about my blog, you probably know that I know who reads this, with a fancy little software program called Sitemeter. I watch people watch me. I know who views often and who doesn’t view often.
This is, admittedly, a little weird. Especially since sometimes I say […]
