It’s been a year and a few days since Seth and I left the concrete jungle of New York City and became ruralpolitans in the mountains of upstate New York. In that time we have seen a lot of strange and mysterious things, such as competent AND friendly retail workers, a mailman who knows our [...]

I woke up this morning and looked out the window to see more snow falling. I figured it would have ended over night since it started to taper off around 10 last night. That’s when we went outside and built Pablo the Snowman. I know, its a pretty bad attempt but we were cold and [...]

Snow Daze

We are slowly but surely getting the study in order here at our new house in East Chatham. Eventually, this room will have a corner lined in book shelves and lots of heavy wood and leather chairs. For now, I’ve got my home office set up with a fire going and I just looked out [...]
