Breaking Radio Silence

Tap, tap. Hello?

Sorry I disappeared for so long.  Actually, I’m not.  Sorry I lied.  I can’t believe there are still people out there reading this blog, waiting for an update from this chick who, without shame or remorse, deserted you for so long.

I don’t have a reason to have maintained radio silence for as long [...]

I’ve tried to shy away from politics here and this isn’t really a political thing… simply a military thing.

General McChrystal requested an additional 40,000 troops to aid the fight in Afghanistan.  Only 13,000 are being sent.  To me, the numbers don’t compare.  If General McChrystal was appointed to be the commander of the war in [...]

A New York Memory

**not gluten free**

I don’t know what it is about the spring, but I find myself wanting to be in New York: exploring the city, relaxing on Long Island or being a little farther north visiting The Husband’s family.  Alas, the opportunities to visit New York are growing fewer and farther between.  The In-Laws moved to [...]
