Where in the World Am I? (Clue 2)

Friday Five
1. Sunday Blahs. Every Sunday night, about 7 p.m. it starts. The Sunday Blahs. I don't think I'm the only one who starts dreading the looming work week. (And lately, my weekends have been filled with chores, so it doesn't even feel like I've had the necessary...
Friday Five – A Walk Around Fort Greene
The Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn is not far from my mine so I took a walk last weekend. Come along. 1. Architecture. 2. Signage. Conflicting messages? 3. Greenlight Bookstore. This is one of my favorite indie bookstore in the city. (Yes, we still have those...

Friday Five
1. Tiny Bubbles. There's something about penguins that is comical and fascinating at the same time. They're so awkward on land yet in the water they're graceful and elegant. To get out of the ocean onto the ice is a combination of both qualities. They propel...
The Valentine’s Day Five
I will preface this post by stating that I'm not a Valentine's Day person. I typically don't go in for all the schmaltzy, gooey trappings of this force-fed holiday. So why am I posting this Valentine's Day? Perhaps subconsciously all of the items I'd pulled together...
