Well, I’m back from vacation. Came back a day early to a hurricane and a nasty message scrawled across our garage. Fun. times. To pass the hours waiting for Irene to wreak her havoc, I binge cooked (potato leek soup, roast chicken with lemons, potatoes and olives, and banana crumb muffins), slept many a lot [...]
We spent some time on Saturday wandering around one of my favorite places in the Greater Boston area, the beautiful and serene Mt. Auburn Cemetery. It may seem strange that I enjoy the company of, well, the dead, and I myself admit it seems odd, but this is so much more than just a cemetery. [...]

And for my first day off on my new part-time schedule, [...]
Well, well. One day out from the end of NaBloPoMo and I’m back here blogging. Surprised? I’m not. Who am I kidding, I can’t stay away from you guys! Actually, love you though I do, it’s because of all these blogs putting together their holiday gift guides that have me in quite the Christmas present [...]
