Jetsetting
I’m off to Paris for the weekend. I just love saying that — actually it’s longer than a weekend, but I’ll be back stateside for Thanksgiving. There may be some blogging à Paris, but I’m not sure yet. Ideally I’ll be too busy galavanting around or relaxing to hit an internet cafe. I’m hoping my

I’m Drivin’ in My Car
Well, not my car. A rental car. I (and my passagers) survived my first time driving around and out of Manhattan — somehow I managed to make it this far without doing it. It went just fine, for the record. OJ was full of friends, fun, food, music, a great run in the pine-scented air,

Transition to Fall
So this weekend was the first time I busted out the fuzzy socks and had the urge to wear a scarf (haven’t busted that out yet). Then again, it’s cooler at the beach than it is back in the city. I’m too tired to post the rest of the pictures now, so this sunset will

Weekend Wrapup
After going to the FoodCandy meetup and meeting some lovely new folks, I made myself a simple dinner before heading off to Stephanie’s birthday soiree Friday night. Due to the acoustics at the bar, however, it was a little hard to catch up with anyone or, more accurately, nobody could hear me. I have one

How the Hell Could I Forget the Chickens?!?
There’s no way I could have forgotten them since somebody took eighty gazillion pictures of them with my camera. Then again, I was sort of obsessed with the prizewinning produce myself. The pictures from Maine are up, including a bunch from the Common Ground Country Fair, an annual event hosted by the Maine Organic Farmers

Maine, Redux
Since our previously scheduled trip to Maine was thwarted by a grand conspiracy between Mother Nature, Orbitz, and Continental Airlines, The Lovely Miss Katie and I are heading up tonight for the weekend (assuming all goes well). We hope to sleep late, eat lobster, go running, eat lobster, and, if weather permits, swim and kayak

Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’
Well, I made it back safely from an amazing week in Galicia. I’ve posted the pictures up quick and dirty, and will spend some time later today cleaning them up (like giving them labels so you know what the hell you’re looking at). I had a great time, ate my fill of shellfish and jamon,

Legs Don’t Fail Me Now
It’s about to get quiet around here for the next week — I’m off to Galicia for a week long bike trip. Hope to have great stories and pictures when I return! Pictures from my last bike trip, to Provence and Tuscany, are here. Was it really four years ago?!?

Aloooooooha!
I’m back from Hawaii and am kicking myself for not scheduling a much longer trip. I stayed in Waikiki (a.k.a. tourist central) and didn’t see all that much of Oahu, although I managed to go snorkeling (saw some huge turtles) and hiking. If I go back, I’d love to go to the North Shore of

See What Happens When I Slow Down a Little?
I’ve turned into the most anal retentive packer when I have the time. When I’m rushed, I shove anything and everything into a bag, but when I have time, it’s different. I make little checkllists of everything I want to bring and all the things I need to do before I go. I go through
