While I usually write about food, sometimes I enjoy writing about other topics. For example, this one is going to be about the ambitions involved in endeavoring to learn new skills, more specifically sewing. I am hoping to learn new skills in sewing within the next couple of months. I really would like to learn … Continue reading Ambitions in Learning New Skills

Traveling a Distance
This past weekend I traveled a few hours each way to visit family. When I got back, I had some chores to do. This rush to try to get my chores done (such as laundry) before work tomorrow reminded me of the concept of a long drive or trip. To me, a four or five … Continue reading Traveling a Distance

Unfortunately, the rest of our bodies also develop a distinctive opinion of certain foods. A lot of people know what I am referring to.

Ode to Williams
When I went to renew my Facebook feed, I didn't expect a post announcing the death of Robin Williams. He was an amazing actor who caused laughter among many people myself included. I am saddened by the fact that he did not die of old age. I feel slightly numb as it is hard to … Continue reading Ode to Williams
