surrounded by trees surrounded by Pittsburgh ruins that will be rebuilt dressed both in blue with just enough quirk to their style you know they put time and thought into it. Waiting for the wedding photographer and when you and…

Your arm
A were-child a little were-girl with ponytails and a bike with a basket and bell can eat her own weight in about an hour. Which doesn’t sound like much but you know that’s more than your arm, your leg, your…
Bean Curd
It’s one thing when an adult calls one other adult, “Baby.”

New Movie: A Visit to the Olive Operation
I posted a different kind of movie (for me) over the weekend — a 4 minute micro-documentary in which my buddy Joel and I get a tour of our pal Kirk’s chicken house followed by a look at how Kirk…
Me, Cooking
