I was discussing what I had in store for summer vacation with my students today (a sanitized version for their benefit of course), when one of them said they were excited to be going zorbing out west. Since I’d been embarassed the day before by asking them what Tumblr was, and just last week asked

Two years ago one of my friends suggested we get a group together to go to the Preakness. I’m not a huge fan of horse racing, and don’t gamble, so was reticent at first. I was convinced once I realized part of the Preakness experience was made up of things I love, namely day drinking and
It’s about that time of the year when my friends and I start throwing out plans for summer trips. Now, not all of these come to fruitation, but you want to get ideas out, see who’s in, consult everyone’s schedules, etc, before anything concrete happens (and before everyone’s plate fills up). Now, I realize I’ve been
My brother purchased me tickets to see a Dropkick Murphy’s St. Patrick’s Day show up in Massachusetts. I’ve been wanting to spend a St. Patrick’s Day is Boston, so I’m glad he finally made me go make good on this. It did not disappoint.

While the post-mono recovery isn’t distracting me from writing, the current weather is. Close to 80 in March? Those of you who claim global warming is a conspiracy (and trust me, there’s plenty of people in Lancaster who regularly discuss this) are whacked.

So, while the mono did not succeed in destroying my March, in did end up taking complete control of my weeknights, which is why even though I claimed last post I would be back, I actually haven’t been. It didn’t help that almost immediately after I started to “feel better”, I did Erin Express.

They seem to be pretty good deals, and even if I don’t end up buying one on the day specified, (I wish they’d last more than a day,
I apologize for my lack of posts in the past few weeks. A pretty nasty case of mono pretty much destroyed my February. For those of you who’ve never been privy to the disease, it sucks in the worst way. I’ve had absolutely no energy and have been sleeping an average of 12 hours a
I’m terrified of heights, bordering on phobia. I remember the exact moment vertigo started to plague my life: Long Beach Island, New Jersey, summer of ‘95. During a family vacation, I was forced to climb 221 stairs to the top of the Barnegat Light House. The view at the top hardly bothered me because between me
If I don’t go out Friday nights I’m normally up by 8:00 or 9:00 Saturday mornings. It’s partially because work has rid me of the ability to sleep in, partially because I feel like I”m missing out on the day, and partially because over the years I’ve been conditioned to function with very little shut eye.
