I moved to New York in the summer of 2002 — so many of my stories start this way. It was the end of July, it was the hottest day of the year so far, something I’m sure it’s hard to fathom today, seeing as New York is today galumphing its way through more snow [...]

Flea Market Finds
August 18th, 2010 · 2 Comments · photo essays
Ocular proof that I do occasionally leave the apartment. We took a few turns around the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday with visiting friends Alison and Bill (the very same who introduced us to the Giant Orange a couple months ago). I like going to the Flea, though it does tend to get a bit old, [...]
Don’t sweat the big stuff

I have a ton of pictures from our weekend in Montreal to show you — I guess that should be tonne, rather — but it’ll have to wait until I relive yesterday’s car towing experience. If you follow me on the Twitter (and really, why wouldn’t you? I’m delightful!) or even the Tumblr (ditto! Plus [...]

Hoo boy. Today’s to-do list (or TeuxDeux list — great l’il web app that would be even greater with iPhone support — did I mention I got an iPhone last week? I’m one of those people now) is as long as my arm and I’ve only crossed two things off (the first one wound up [...]
Oh to be in Fort Greene, now that April’s there

(I am sure that’s what Robert Browning meant.) I love my neighborhood in the spring. I love it in all seasons, really, but I think spring suits it best. I had to run a couple errands today. Regular Saturday stuff, like going to the farmer’s market in search of fresh veggies. Got there a little [...]
This is what a snow day looks like

Did you hear? We got some snow. As I type this (Weds. late afternoon), it’s still coming down heavily, and the sun is setting behind those heavy clouds, making it seem like I’m looking at the world through a blue filter. I knew before the snow started that at some point I would go out [...]
