The other night, after visiting my grandmom at the hospital, my mom and I went to Echelon Mall for some ice cream. I thought of a fun game to play: trying to name a store that previously occupied the location of all of the current stores. Strawbridge’s, Fashion Bug, Babbage’s, Xhilarama, that luggage place….

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 [...]

Stratford, NJ In 2003, when I mentioned that I was thinking of spending a semester abroad in France, most people thought it was a good idea. My grandmom certainly thought so. “You might as well go, because chances are you’ll never get to do something like that again.” I assumed she was right. When I got off [...]

Today is kind of a symbolic day, in a way. I haven’t actually kept track to the day, but I have now, over the course of my life, spent about the same amount of time in the Washington, DC, area as I have spent in the Syracuse area. That’s kinda weird to me. In other [...]
