a little bit of sun, and some seafood

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

For the first time in a week the sun peeked through the clouds, dried the rain and shone over Boston on Saturday. Spontaneously, Mike and I decided to enjoy it by walking around the city. We had no plans and no timeline, we  just took the day one step at a time. After walking around […]

giving in

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Mike’s birthday was this week. To celebrate, we tossed around ideas that included crafting a semi-elaborate birthday dinner, which would have had to have been purchased, cooked and eaten in the few short hours we have between work and sleep.

Monday, March 7th, 2011

If this weekend had a soundtrack it would be the sound of rushing water. The sun was out, the temperature was warm and the snow was melting  into the gutters and turning into little, urban waterfalls. Spring is near. And for a New Englander who has endured major snow storms on almost a weekly basis, it was impossible to resist being […]
