From our first blog: Sunday, August 21, 2005 Forget the rest of the trip–our time in Italy was defined by the past three hours. It began on top of the Palatine Hill, overlooking the ruins of the center of the world: the Roman forum. We descended into a copse of ancient pines, and climbed [...]

Cooking in the Capital
Posted in Food and Wine, Travel on 20 March 2010 | 2 Comments »
London is touted as one of the “financial centers of the world” –right up there with New York and Hong Kong. It is also reputed to be a great place for enjoying the best of world cuisine. However, if you would like to cook your own food, rather than paying someone to do it for [...]
“Though the setting of this novel appears to be…”

“Though the setting of this novel appears to be New Orleans and the River Road, this city and this famous road are used here as place names of an imaginary terrain. The River Road does not really run into ‘Feliciana Parish.’ In fact there is no Feliciana Parish now. There is no ‘English Coast’ that [...]
My freeways, how I love thee …

All right, so here’s a confession. Anytime I use three or more freeways to get to a destination, I get a little high. I love the southern California freeway system (and not just because my dad is a traffic engineer and I grew up taking scenic Sunday drives to see new carpool to carpool connectors). [...]

Several years ago, the day after returning from a semester studying abroad in Oxford, I found myself driving across Orange County to drop my younger sister off at a party. I say, ‘found myself,’ because it was a surreal experience. I drove through at least five cities on two major freeways and a half dozen [...]
Egy autóval kevesebb!

As those in my daily life already know, my ‘little’ white car (that I’ve driven since high school) finally died during the last couple weeks of the school year. I’ve been unbelievably blessed to have it last through my two year long 350 mile weekly commute. But, I will admit that I was not that [...]

Yesterday I returned from a week or so in Ashland, a small town in southern Oregon. I had the opportunity to go with a Biola summer class to the Ashland Shakespeare Festival, seeing half the plays and spending the rest of the time with the two K—— children while their mom and dad were with [...]

This book, given to me by A. Romero, is one of my favorites.

Soccer, and more specifically, the EuroCup 2008, is quickly and fiercely wooing me. It’s hard to resist ninety minute games, constant motion (that, more often than not, reseambles dancing, not a field spot), precision, national competition and Very Attractive Men. I watched the Croatia/Turkey game with the Shephersons this afternoon. We had our own Turkish [...]
