There are many things that nearly never change in my apartment building.  Bud has been at the front desk since 1982, the steps leading up to the pool have always been painted a watery turquoise color and the same five people have staffed the community room polling place for every election since I’ve been voting […]

Saturday morning, Scott and I got up bright and early and walked over to the Art Museum.  He, along with a bunch of our other friends, had signed up to run in the Clean Air 5K.  It was his first time running outside since high school, so it was something of a big deal.  He […]

Last week, I bought a two-week trial membership at a local yoga studio, just to check things out.  I’ve been saying for years that I wanted to be taking yoga classes, but I always was able to find an excuse that kept me away (not enough money, not enough time, the studio is intimidating, it’s […]

There is an elderly woman in my apartment building who is always sitting by the back door when I leave for work in the mornings.  I’ve known her since I moved into the building, although I don’t actually know her name.  Six years ago, when we first started chatting in the elevator, she got around […]

Finally, a good use for my antique wooden spool. It’s the perfect height to serve as a microphone stand. If you’re wondering what’s happening in this picture, Scott’s about to participate in a TUAW Talkcast. Very exciting.
In other news, I’m into the third week of the new job and the schedule has […]

For the last week, since the new job update I pounded out last Monday night, I’ve been meaning to post.  But it hasn’t happened.  It’s not for a lack of things to write about but more a feeling of overwhelmedness at suddenly how much there is to write down.  It’s like as soon as I […]

Well.  Let’s see.
I’m in one of those periods where my real life is pretty darn interesting.  I’ve got a second interview for a job I’m pretty excited about.  I’ve been blogging up a storm over at Slashfood.  The next Fork You Live is coming up in about ten days (2 pm on February 23rd at […]

I spent most of last week in New York City. My experience there was mixed, what with feeling a little overwhelmed by the conference and the city. The primary saving grace was the fact that I was staying with my cousins, Betsy, Harvey and Anna (Sam, the fourth member of the family, is […]

One of the fun things about showing up at Foster’s on Saturday was the fact that before we even walked through the doors, we were greeted by the sign you see to the left. You see, I had done most of the set-up and planning with the folks at Foster’s and so they weren’t […]

My roommate moved out this morning.  I have now been the only resident of Apartment 2024 for nearly 14 hours now and the thrilling novelty of it is still only just setting in.  However, there is part of me that is still not adjusted to this new reality.  Every time I hear the elevator bell […]
