Last weekend I met up with my three college roommates, Marisa, Lindsey and Julie, in Chicago. Aside from the occasional wedding, this is the first time we have all gotten to spend a full weekend together since 2002. Here we are eight years after graduation in Chicago. Old ladies, with dogs, and kids and jobs [...]

To complement Karen’s post about Robb and Sarah’s wedding in Rhode Island as well at Karen and Matt’s interpretation of Cyndi Lauper’s Time After Time, I wanted to (belatedly) post a selection of photos I took that weekend. Here goes…

Oddly enough, this felt like a bit of a bargain.

Tulum is about an [...]

In the last few weeks we have:
- Ran 18 Miles to Coney Island and back in 88 degree weather. It was terrible. Terrible. Terrible.
- Ran 16 Miles and then hopped [...]

Karen and I had our first anniversary last weekend (I know you’ve all got 9/9 all up in your file-o-faxes) and we decided for no particular reason that it would be fun to head out to Chicago for the weekend. She’d been there before but it was my first time, which is interesting as I [...]

After about 1000 miles in the Pilot, traveling practically to the US border with Canada, Karen, Sasha (on her first vacation) and I are back home in Brooklyn. It was such a great, relaxing week off. So great that I’m finding it hard getting back into the swing of things right away. I guess that’s [...]
