You know who you are. The non-visitors. You who have postponed and procrastinated visiting my adorable little apartment for five years. Five years! Well the countdown starts now for all of you. Check priceline.com. Cash in those frequent flyer miles. This is the end of an era. Visit now while you can still paint words on the floor and eat toast in my refuse-filled stairwell.   practical... You know, I think I sold Erika a little short over there on the left. In addition to a lot of practical and valuable advice she also told me to go home, watch my favorite movie, and cry. All things that fall into the NOT practical category. She's not exactly the task-master I made her out to be. She's always striking the most enviable balance.   rained out... Our camping trip was a wash when I got up this morning and checked weather.com to find that there was a 90% chance Mount Katahdin would spend the entire weekend underwater. On top of my cold and sore throat, not a desirable way to spend two days. Disappointing.
