S’mores and Other Finger Lakes Goodies
I have finished posting the pictures from this weekend, and I believe there are a few that need some explanation beyond what was written in the caption. First, a few were taken at a rest stop outside of the Poconos. This rest stop was like nothing I had seen before — it sold everything one

Things I Will Never See in Manhattan
I was up in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York this weekend. While shopping at a local Wal-Mart for our 4th of July barbeque, I saw something that left me standing, mouth agape, in the midst of the freezer aisle. Yes folks, that is a five pound bag. Staying in NYC looks better

Chowhounds to the Rescue (Again)
I’m about to hop on the train for my return to NYC, but I have to once again thank the users of the Chowhound message boards for saving me from utter culinary deprivation while I was in Albany. Thanks to their recommendations, I ended up at My Linh last night — a Vietnamese restaurant. Despite

Graduation/Yay Maine Update
I’m finally home early enough that I have more than five minutes before crawling into bed exhausted. So now, the weekend update. The weekend started out with a road trip. Haven’t done that in ages. But, you put three single women in a car, and the subject always comes back to guys. At one point,

The Return from Down East
I made it back from Maine — my brother successfully graduated from college, I survived my final college party (co-llege!), and I managed to have lobster in one form or another four times in three days. What more can you ask for? The full report, I suppose. Tune in later in the week for the

On the Bayou
Okay, it’s time for the full report. Day 1 We arrived on Wednesday and picked up our first po-boys on the way home from the airport from a local joint out in Lakeview, where we were staying. Ah . . . welcome to New Orleans. After lunch, we followed up with a stroll around the

Goin’ Down to the Big Easy
The wait is over. It’s finally time. Truth be told, I’ve been waiting for this moment since last year’s trip. Wasn’t sure I’d make it this year, but thanks to a very hospitable college friend and a travel partner with a flexible schedule, I am once again able to make the pilgrimage to Jazz Fest

Southern Gentlemen and Pork Fat — My Trip to Atlanta
Considering that I spent the better part of four beautiful, mild, sunny days inside a Hilton, I actually had a good trip to Atlanta. I was there for the Equal Justice Conference, and moderated a panel presentation on disaster legal assistance. I hadn’t met any of my co-panelists before we got there — we coordinated

Hot-lanta
So I’m heading to Atlanta at the crack of dawn tomorrow for the Equal Justice Conference. Everyone who’s anyone in the pro bono and legal services world will be there. I’ll bet you’re extremely jealous. Never fear, I have written a few mini-posts to keep you occupied while I’m gone — they’ll go up while
