On Family
Between wedding activities (engagement party, wedding dress shopping), holidays (mother’s day, father’s day), vacations, and random trips, I’ve spent more time with my family this summer than most summers in the recent past.

Double Wedding Weekend Recap
I think I’m finally recovered enough from this weekend to write a short, belated recap.

Recently Read: New York The Novel
I read all 800 and something pages of this in eight days (perks of commuting?) so yeah, it was very good. Starting in the 1660s and ending in the 2000s, New York tells the history of New York City through many generations of families, from Dutch and English Settlers to Italian and Irish immigrants. An absolutely great read if you enjoy historial fiction and love New York.
