It's like the movie, except without Meg Ryan or AOL's sponsoring.

The Day I Wanted Crab Cakes and Ended Up in a One-Way Tunnel to the Airport.
I’m stuck in this one-way tunnel – that I wasn’t supposed to be in – to an airport I don’t need to be going to – in a city I don’t know – with a dying cell phone. And I start crying. But just how did a day trip to Boston get so emotional? Let’s […]
The One About Living With The Boy: Super Bowl Edition
February 3, 2013
It’s 4:25 p.m. the day of the Super Bowl, and we’re about to have some friends over for the game. The veggie platter is made, pizzas ordered, onion dip mixed, the frozen T.G.I. Friday snacks in the freezer just in case we run out of food or I really want a jalapeño popper. The apartment […]
The One About Living With The Boy.
January 15, 2013
So we decided our same-area-code-otherwise-long-distance relationship was a total drag on our gas mileage. Where I worked/lived was 45 minutes from where he lived which was 30 minutes from where he worked which was 40 minutes from where I lived (follow that triangle?).

October blooms
October 27, 2012
A year ago, this blog was the everyday travel journal of a backpacker with no itinerary, no deadlines, no responsibilities but to stay alive and not lose her passport. It was fantasy-like. And then the blog transitioned to what’s next. The one-way ticket bought for a return to New York. Then the job search. Then […]
A few words of advice.

Quite randomly, a man came up to Ryan and handed him this yesterday. He let me share.
In this age of urgency.

Two major news stories unfolded today. To call them equal in importance, impact, emotional and worldwide influence would be in poor taste. By critical, I suggest only by count of stories, by outlets, by reporters, by headlines. By no judgement of their content or context. Today, a rocket attack on the United States embassy in […]
