stop eating fast food (read all 3 entries…)
three months 10 months ago

There is a McD’s on my route to and from work. There are times, mornings and afternoons when I really really want a cheeseburger or a breakfast sandwich, but conveniently enough I’m on a bus and refuse to make the stop just for fast food. But I’ve found other times when I’m walking and the thought crosses my mind to stop – french fries will beckon – but then I don’t and I keep on walking. I remember all the health reasons why I shouldn’t stop and add on the poundage so I keep walking past and I feel really good about that.

Wow 14 months ago

14 months through a fellowship program at Baruch College. I’m glad to have done it.



live in seattle
All it took was nine months in Seattle and 10 weeks in NYC 15 months ago

I made my decision to relocate to Seattle after spending my second summer in New York. I’ll take nine months of Seattle’s neverending gray for that brief ray of sunshine in the summer compared with the ten weeks of New York City’s humidity and heat and smells and thrills and crowds and storms and yes, I’ll even give up NYC’s neverending nightlife.

I fell in love with Seattle. Georgetown Rocks. I’ll be there by mid-August.
