Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]

This morning, I stood on the edge. I stood and looked up, gazing for a while at the pale pink and gray sky; wisps of cloud blocking the spreading sunlight as it filtered through the treetops lining the lake across the street, across the harbor and breakwater.

Sometimes, the reminder you need is subtlety waiting at the end of the block in that boarded up storefront you’ve passed by for six years… It has not escaped my notice that I still have not written about moving in with my boyfriend; about the move itself, the changes that living together has brought (or not [...]

It’s been a morning and I’ve had it with their janky ass bullshit. I mean, if you’re just going to go around making everyone [...]

This next post in the series is shamefully overdue, but finally here! Last Saturday, my boyfriend and I defied the downtown crowds gathered for the Michigan Avenue Lights Parade and dined at The Gage.
