My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • From Chicago, I continued my US tour by visiting R’s home for a few days. It was lovely to meet his mom, who is very sweet and friendly. We had a good time eating, talking and using the pool. It’s a quiet little world in South Jersey, but it was much greener and spread out than I had expected. I guess it’s true that North Jersey gives Jersey it’s bad name, because it…

  • 1. As I was telling my BF the story I wrote about the taxi driver, it occurred to me that while I took it as a positive story it didn’t sound as such as I was sharing it. In fact, it just sounded like another one of my crazy taxi ride stories in this country…<sigh> Which way should I think of it…? 2. Lately I’ve been using my birth name to log in…

  • …coming home. I walked into my apartment after being gone for nearly three months and questioned if this was really home…. It’s nice to be back, though. I felt happy unpacking and knowing that I don’t have to lug a suitcase around for at least 8 weeks or more. 😀 As I became familiar with my surroundings again, I also decided that with a new school year should come some changing of the…

  • From Baltimore, I headed back to the City for a few days and spent some time with a few friends. I would have liked to have stayed longer, but in order to meet up with other grad school friends, I headed to Chicago for a few days. Chicago was different than I expected as it’s a big city, but with quite a lot of space. The buildings are amazing architecturally and despite the…

  • _Mennonite in a Little Black Dress:  A Memoir of Going Home_ My friend in NYC is an editor for Henry Holt and she gave me this book when we caught up after four years. She edited this book and she said it was a funny story that she thought I might like. While I’ve become more interested in contemporary fiction, I do find myself drawn to the memoir genre, so I was interested…

  • Usually my summer travels take me to some place in the world, but this year I thought it would be the year that I visit/catch up with friends and family State-side.  With such a long holiday (sorry to brag), it was a cheaper option to stay domestic in the States than to try to traipse around the world. Plus, it’s nice to just take it a bit easier! So, I started my traveling…

  • _9th Judgement_ James Patterson continues to entertain me with this series. It was a better read than what I remember thinking about the _8th Confession_, which is good. I read the entire book on my flights from AD to JFK and was reminded of how much I enjoy having a real book in hand when I’m reading. The story continues with the four women overlapping in their careers and life to help solve…
