First, let’s send a big blogosphere happy birthday wish to my brother!! Happy Birthday!!
Since there isn’t anything to blog about here in Madison, other than the rain and quickly rising creek waters, I’ll post some more pictures from New York.
The first thing I did after getting into the city was head to my favorite pub [...]

Aside from the great bagels, pizza, and diner food, one of the things I really miss about NY are the lesbian bars.
Yes, I suppose it is true that Madison is a very gay-friendly city– a pocket of blue in an otherwise red state. Lesbians are everywhere on this side of town. We go to the [...]

You know you’ve been in the Mid West too long. . .
when the bagels there (like Bagels Forever or Einsteins) start to taste pretty decent.
Now my taste for what others call “bagels” is again spoiled for a while. I’ve had a few really great NYC bagels since I’ve been here– each one was better than [...]

that good things go by so very quickly, while other stuff just drags on and on?
Part of my vacation is nearly over. I’m heading into the city tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong, I am beyond thrilled that tomorrow night I’ll see some more great people. But, that means I’ll have to leave the great people [...]

I”m not even in NYC proper yet, and I’ve had more great food here than I’ve had eating out in Madison all year. Seriously. Now I know that those of us from the East or West coasts are quite found of complaining about Madison’s food scene, but there really is some substance to our complaints [...]

Although I’m putting up a pretty good front (relaxing, watching movies, reading and what not), I guess my subconsciousness is a little more worried than I thought about prelim results. Here’s a couple examples from my last 2 nights of sleep:
In one dream I am sitting in a class and I’m being assigned all kinds [...]

I just got off the phone with Linda in NY. My friends there are so excited for my visit this week. They stocked up their fridge with various kinds of dark beers just for me, and they just had a hot tub installed (not just for me… but the timing is perfect).
But the trip seems [...]

Just watch this folks.
I wasn’t going to watch any news today. I didn’t even want to think back to 5 years ago. I didn’t. I mostly thought about my sister’s fun birthday and my own looming deadlines instead. It did come up during a conversation at work about people who have birthdays today. A co-worker [...]

It's been so long since I posted. I just didn't feel like it. Before that I was raving to my sister about how fun blogging is and then I stopped wanting to do it- briefly anyway. But here I'll try to catch readers (if there are any) up on stuff…
-I spent a wonderful day running [...]

-a veggie burger at DoJo’s
Jeez, I’m getting hungry already…

I just emailed some of my NY pals to let them know I’ll be in NYC the weekend of June 19th. Very exciting- I haven’t been back since we moved and I miss my friends there terribly. The trip works out well at the end of my trip to Maine. I am going to fly [...]
