Two months later, we’ve finally heard back from our title company. The news ain’t good. I guess it isn’t horrible, either. First, let me back track and catch you up.
Many years ago in a magical land called Washington Heights, our hero (I won’t use the feminine version in case Thom reads this – you know his [...]

It’s been a long, and fun-filled past several days, so I somehow lost track of just how long it had been since I showered. After Rocco leaned in, sniffed me, then said, “Yup, that’s you,” I thought perhaps I’d use a little soap today before hitting Wrigley Field.
We’re staying with my Aunt Sharon and Uncle John while we’re hanging [...]

Projects 90
I recently visited the MoMA on one of their free Friday thingamawhatsits. I’m all about supporting the arts in theory. I just don’t seem to put my money where my mouth is. It’s a recession, people. The concrete ‘shroom biz isn’t exactly booming.
Focus, Elly. Try again.
So I was recently at the MoMA and was [...]

The Bible
Fish gotta swim. Birds gotta fly. Elly’s gotta read the Bible.
I don’t know what possessed me to try and stop. That’s like trying to convince a rainbow to stop being a rainbow for a second – Mango to stop being Mango. Such is Elly. I was wrong, so wrong, to even try.
I did go [...]

So what tattoo should I get? Something to maybe commemorate beating cancer. A symbol of new beginnings. A celebration of victory. [...]

The New 'Do
Everything about getting your hair cut is seven zillion more times annoying when it’s short. Blech. I’ve got little teeny tiny hairs wreaking havoc inside my noes, ears…and bra. Dead sexy.
So after having a slew of people fondling my follicles yesterday, I decided to go ahead and get this mop shaped. I though [...]

Happy Father’s Day, world. I just called my D.O.D. (dear ‘ol dad) but had a hell of a time hearing him as he was out in the middle of the lake on a kayak. Clearly Virginians are not afflicted by the cold, rainy, dark weather we’re having yet again here in the ‘boken.
I told D.O.D. that [...]

Recently I’ve been hearing the same question with increasing frequency and I just have no idea how to answer. It hear the question when I meet new people. I hear the question when I run into people I haven’t seen in a few months. It’s a perfectly innocent question, but I have one hell of a time [...]

I recently had dinner with someone from Boston. Even worse, someone that was from Boston that still spoke fondly of the town. If you’ve spent any time with me, you know I hate Boston. Well, I don’t know that I hate the city itself. It’s quite lovely actually. I really enjoy taking the train trip when [...]

Yesterday I thought I’d take a much needed break from the un-pack-a-thon to hang with one of my all-time favorite people. Ever have one of those people that just makes your brain feel good? Very rarely do I analyze a logo, layout, or writing approach without pondering what Jess’s take would be. I respect her opinions [...]
