On gains and losses

When I first moved in with my grandmom, one of my biggest worries that I’d get fat. For a while, it looked like I was going to.  In my first month here, I gained about five pounds. Then, somehow, I lost almost 15! I’ve since put on about 5 back on, but that still leaves [...]

Princeton University Hockey: Baker Rink

I guess it was fitting that my last post was about profession fishing, considering that I posted it during the Bassmaster Classic.  Ike didn’t have a great tournament, but he’s still a great angler. ANYWAY! Did anybody see that Syracuse-G’town game on TV tonight?  Wow!  We beat the hell out of the Hoyas! They even [...]

Fishing

When I was in middle school, I was REALLY into fishing. Some kids were wearing their little league shirts, the more precocious or risqué were wearing their “co-ed naked soccer” shirts (remember that fad?).  Me, I was proud of the “Justa Hafta Fish” t-shirt that my mom gave me for Christmas. One day, we were [...]

This is not a movie review

First of all, I’d like to apologize to my dear friend Dan Dean’s dear ladyfriend, EMILY, for refering her simply as, “Dan’s ladyfriend,” instead of “Dan’s ladyfriend, Emily,” the time I posted about the time Dan and his ladyfriend, Emily, came to visit.  I’m very sorry. Today’s Netflix was Dark Days, a documentary about homeless [...]

Something you probably didn’t know about me

Fun fact:  my favorite painter is René Magritte. This, below, is in the Royal Museum in Brussels.  David’s The Death of Marat is cool, but it’s really their Magritte collection that makes it one of my favorite art museums. This last one is in the National Gallery in Washington.  It’s one of my favorites there. I’m no expert, [...]

Link du Jour: France24.  REAL news! (These guys are new, but so far, I’ve been very impressed.  And I [...]

3 month-iversary, TV-style

I’ve been here for three months now.  Hurray? I haven’t had a post about the banalities of of everyday life here in a while, so I thought it was about time.  After all, this blog is supposed to touch on my life with my Nana. Today, I watched The Shawshank Redemption.  Excellent!  One of the [...]

When I was a kid, in second grade, I think, I read one of these books: Nowadays, this guy plays hockey. Cam Jans(s)en!

For only the second time in it’s 137-year history in the country’s snowiest city of over 100,000 people, my alma mater, Syracuse University cancelled classes today because of the snow!!! I’m shocked. Got a little bit here.  Here’s my nana surveying the damage. DO article on SU’s closing.  The anecdote on the top of page 4 is [...]
