Waiting for Fall
First, an update on the previous entry. Actually, I lied. There isn't much to update as far as the painting is concerned. I asked Les the other day, and he said he had contacted the parties involved, but the artist hasn't bugged him about it that much and he's been busy. So, the artwork remains in Wisconsin as far as I know ( Read more... ) -
An Introduction to the On-going Saga of "Leaving Home (First Suitcase)"
Here at Rohs Street Cafe (RSC) we pride ourselves on being a place for community. One community we (usually) enjoy being a part of is the local arts, performing and visual.

Visiting, working, and moving again
It's been a long week. Having Caleb here has been amazing. I'm working shifts on my own now, and getting used to things and getting better at it. I'm also moving into my new place, and finding it to be a rather frustraiting process ( Read more... ) -

Official Intro

Or, I'll just go ahead and dress up and know that everyone will be kinda weirded out by it. I like dressing up for church, even when I don't have to. It gives me an excuse to ( Read more... ) -
Guatemala in January?
I'm getting more excited the more I learn about what composes this internship. For example, my boss is the best barista in Ohio. Seriously, he came in 9th in a national competition last spring. Also, there's a trip to Guatemala coffee farms in January, and I'm slated to go ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Yesterday, I drove to Ohio. Well, I didn't drive the whole way, but most of it. We left Nicole's at 8am, got out of Boston by 8:30 and arrived home at 11:45pm. We were blessed with relatively few break lights, and only a few back-ups, mostly around tolls in Buffalo ( Read more... ) -
Moving Again
On Monday, I'm going to drive to Ohio. Again ( Read more... ) -
Scorch
Today is one of those blistering summer days which don't really occur all that often up here, despite how much people might complain. In China, our first three weeks were all 80+ days, though we slept in AC which made a huge difference ( Read more... )
