Every Summer, amid working our respective jobs and participating in our hobbies of choice (which are usually shared and therefore we do them together,) my longtime/lifetime friend Sean and I try to carve out a weekend where we travel out of the city or out of state together to visit somewhere newish and have a […]
After the absolute whirlwind that was the extended Memorial Day Weekend just a few short days ago, it felt nice to have a more quiet and low-key couple of afternoons off where I could tidy up my apartment, restock some groceries, catch up on e-mails that had been sitting patiently in my inbox, and- most […]
