Weekend Wrapup
Let’s see, where to start. Friday night I went to a concert put on by middle school students from a set of city charter schools. We provide pro bono legal services to the parents of one of the schools, and I’ve got to say, it was so wonderful to see these kids play in the

Jump Start
As of now I am going to do my damnedest to run for about 20 minutes before work as often as possible (or even biking) — this is in addition to any other workouts I’m doing. Reasons for this are threefold: 1) I’m hoping it’ll help me feel more awake by the time I get

Cure-ing
I am loving the fact that my Spring Cure progress is being tracked on Apartment Therapy, although I fear that heading out of town this weekend might make me fall behind. That said, my huge cabinet, and hopefully the TV, will be gone by mid-next week, leaving me free to rearrange my living/dining furniture. That

Mapquest
My friend Sergio once described dating as a single man in his 30’s in New York City like "eating at a buffet." Via Derek, this singles map of the US in the Boston Globe illustrates that in New York, there are well over 200,000 more single women than single men. No wonder then, for me,

Good News/Bad News
The good news: I got a much-coveted reservation at Ko for next week. The bad news: My apartment is going to be a half-painted, tarp filled, barely inhabitable disaster over the weekend (but not really that bad — I’ve got offers for places to stay — will be taking you all up on them! And

Stay Tuned
It’s going to be a big week! New paint and light fixtures are underway. My goals for last week were to finalize the paint colors (done), move some things into storage (done), and drop some stuff off at the electronics/clothing recycling event (done). Got some love from Apartment Therapy this weekend, too! I also started

Blogging the Cure, Week 1
Well, I’m doing my Apartment Therapy Cure a little out of order this time around, partially because I started before, and partially because I’ve got painters coming on Tuesday. What this means is that I completed this week’s assignment ages ago [This Week’s Assignment: Get your hands on a copy of the book and read
