I guess I shouldn’t have asked for that third thing to break last week; apparently, it’s our hot water. So our showers have been cut short since the show; maybe we used too much hot water getting ready, who knows.

We enjoyed our first once-a-year Oscar experience last night, and it was just as surreal and weird as we’d expected.

A quick recap of this busy weekend: Saturday morning, we were up early to head downtown for lunch at The Pantry, which, given that we only had 45 minutes, did not happen. The huge line outside made us think twice, and we vowed to come back when we had more time on our hands. We […]

It’s been six months since we moved here, and I have to say it feels like we’ve been here longer than that. I feel pretty comfortable getting around, I know what I’m doing in my job for the most part, and things feel pretty normal. At the same time, it doesn’t take much going out […]
