My Upcoming Documentary

"Stuffed: The Life and Times and Travels of a Prius"

It will be like a coming-of-age tale. The tagline for the release will be: "Roomier Than the Backseat of a Volkswagen."

Mmmmm. Smells like the ocean. If it keeps raining we may all wash into the ocean.

Happy July Eve!

Big things are happening in July:

The 16th is my last day of work; I turn 31 on the 21st, and we'll be on a two-week vacation from the 18th onward.

I'm looking forward to all of it!

Did you know?

That cell phones have volume controls? That you can use to adjust the volume of your mobile phone when you leave it on your desk and go into a two hour meeting? Funny, eh?

Seen on a flyer taped to a utility pole on my way home: the headline, "Man with a Van"... Not a good slogan for a moving company. Now if you were a kidnapper, you might be on to something.

The Paper Chain Rules Again

Upon receiving my acceptance letter to Bates in December 1995 I constructed a paper chain about 40 links in length, counting down the weeks until my departure for college (angsty, much?). 

Recently I happened upon this website and was inspired to make the chain you see here, to help our friends Liz and Ivan count down to their wedding (Baltimore, June 20!). Personally, I believe my chains are far superior simply because they arrive fully assembled (whereas assembly is required at that link). 

I'll be taking orders as of August 1st. Seriously, friends, if you'd like a personalized paper chain sent fully constructed to someone special let me know. I'll be happy to oblige. 

Happy 5th Anniversary to Us!
