I’ve never found a better place to drink a cup of coffee and read a book than the porch of my family’s cabin in West Virginia. In fact, I’ve never found a more relaxing place, period. Because this is what you see when you look off of the porch.
(Random side note: that tree [...]
Mom, or Taz, or Nancy I., or anyone: if you have that photo of Taz and I standing in front of the wall of the kitchen at the Cedar Street apartment, grey t-shirts and muzzy hair and all, I seem to have lost my copy, and it’s making me sad. Can you send me [...]
There’s something to be said for school spirit. The University of Chicago, god love it, had none. At least none in the traditional sense. Our school spirit mostly revolved around the Reg, Soc, and bragging about how late we stayed up to write our papers the night before. (Bragging about how [...]
On my family’s property in West Virginia/Pennsylvania, there’s a pond. It’s quite lovely, as you can see:

I’ve spent part of the afternoon enjoying the stuff over at Telstar Logistics. I’d never heard of the site before, but there’s a good amount of random (but interesting!) notes on design and aesthetics and technology and transportation and all kinds of other things. Worth a looksee.
I hereby call for a moratorium on the joke about Devin Hester lining up at quarterback for the Chicago Bears. Yes, I get that he has more touchdowns than their offense. Yes, I get that both Rex Grossman and Brian Griese are, well, let’s just say that they’re not really NFL quarterbacks.
But the [...]
Three random pictures from a lunchtime game of football yesterday. I’ll try to post more at some point, but they’re huge in their original format and I don’t have time to shrink them all down right now.
Grossman-like form
Greise-like form
Just silly looking
The answer to the Quiz o’ the Day:
Governor Deval Patrick. My mom wins!
Kate and I attended Men of Boston Cook for Women’s Health, which is a benefit for a couple of health centers in Dorchester. Many, many fantastic restaurants, and notable men from around the city serving up the food. It was, [...]
