Country Mouse in Los Angeles

A dear friend moved to Los Angeles. I went to visit him and fully expected to hate LA, having only previously been at the airport.  Over the course of my vacation, I was extremely surprised to find that I loved LA.  I'll tell you why, after the jump!

SOFA: Country Mouse & Small City Mouse in the Big City

I got in my car and drove to from New England to Chicago, Illinois.  The first weekend in November is SOFA. The comic con of fine craft. What? You don't know what any of that is? Let me school you, after the jump!

Moose Are a Reality

My college roommate and perennial friend from Arkansas, Abby, believes that moose do not exist.  The proof, after the jump.

The Harsh Veil of Winter Snuck up on me

I can't remember the last time it snowed before Halloween here in the great white north, though, I'm not that old.  Also, realization; I need to take more photos in the snow.  I have like, two snowy pictures.  Here's the thing, I went to visit my Grandmother in south Connecticut having no idea it was going to snow like bonkers.  Also, no one who knows me will ever let me live down that the 4 to 4 and half hour drive to Connecticut which then took about 10 hours in the snow on the ride home.  Why won't I be allowed to ever forget it?  Because my very own father is a meteorologist.  And a good one.  The harrowing tale, after the jump.
