This is a long post for a long weekend. Summer is ending. I can taste it. The rain feels a little bit colder, the nights are longer, the days don’t warm up until after noon. As such it is fitting that most of this weekend was spent outside. I fled Binghamton late afternoon on Friday, […]
I used to have a terrible job. The worst part about the job is that I really liked what I did but I worked long hours with very little reward or appreciation and it wore down on my soul. So while working all of those long hours I would daydream about doing something else. Something […]
Normally every year as long as the weather is good, I try to see my college friends who are spread over New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington DC.

BONUS WEDNESDAY POST! It’s winter. It’s cold. I thought it was time for a hike. More specifically though, we were expecting a 50 degree day in late February and I actually did think it would be a nice day for a hike. Unfortunately the park I picked (called Greenwood) is 20 miles north of our […]
