The Missing Spool, Canon Digital Rebel Last week, I found my bike in the basement and it wasn’t working.

Caterina’s shoes, Olympus Epic My dear friend Sasha just returned this week from a sabbatical in Amsterdam and brought back the most delicious cookies I have ever tasted. They are called Stroopwaffels and they are lovely little caramel waffley treats that must be laced with illegal drugs because I cannot stop eating them. Not 24 […]
