On the time warp trail
I gave myself a long weekend from Starbucks to enjoy the farmer's market on Saturday and to play at a Memorial Day service with my community band (more on that later). Description (including pics) below the cut)
Saturday was gloomy and humid, but the market was fun. Busy, though, and some proud father decided that his 2-year old daughter should ( Read more... ) -
Green
I sat outside today to eat my lunch. I wanted to enjoy my flowers and the singing birds while reading Telling True Stories from the Neiman Foundation at Harvard, awesome book! Our flowers are doing well, maybe I'll borrow a digital camera and share a pic later. And, we had great rain yesterday, and unusually warm weather. I could do without the ( Read more... ) -

Scariness
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I was reading this NY Times article:"Bush Vetoes Bill Tying Iraq Funds to Exit" and I swear that this is a more momentous occasion than mentioned. Hasn't he hardly vetoed any bills since being in office? or am I delusional?

When I walked outside today, I could tell that it was spring from the smell of the air. There's nothing like spring air. It's fresh and you feel that things are growing. It also kind of smelled like hotdogs...it seems that my new neighborhood loves to cook out, no matter the time of day. But, that's cool ( Read more... ) -

Pesach Pesach Pesach
Since I began Smith in 2000, Pesach has become more special. It became my favorite holiday of all times. I loved it. I loved the process that I went through at Smith, with all my Hillel friends of making a Haggadah with a different theme each year, of thinking carefully about what the holiday meant to myself and fellow students, and that current ( Read more... ) -
It's about the journey, not the destination
Cheesy title, I know. But, lately, I've been thinking about this a little.
Firstly, because I just finished a little road trip, to Chicago (of course) and then on to Ann Arbor Michigan for a brief visit and back home. If you know me, you know that I love traveling and exploring, no matter how mundane. And, since I don't have much money, my little ( Read more... )
