Hello blog, its been a while. After a long journey across the country with my man crow, my cat, and in a strangers car, I’ve arrived in New England.

Sunny weather, goodbye parties, and a sighting of someone who looks like me reading the book I’m reading (In Defense of Food) on BART. ….and I feel asleep last night to a room of 3 boys trying to explain why they can’t just [...]
