Wanted: Narrator of Awkward Social Situations

Friday, August 21, 2009

While dining in Chicago my friends and I discovered a new game: narrating the internal dialogue of our restaurant companions at Harry Caray’s: Scenario 1: Ms. Lonely heart: Gorgeous woman on a date with 2 gay men, one of whom she was oh-so-obviously in love with.  I told my friend Brian I’d give him $20 […]

Favorites (and also a list of pictures that I did not take): 1. View from the lounge at the John Hancock Building. Really, if I lived in Chicago, I would make it a point to go here at least once a week. 2. Meeting some new friends, catching up with some old ones (Hi Tracey! Hi […]

Chicago

Monday, August 3, 2009

hugs & healing & heart capacity

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Over the past few weeks I’ve really come to cherish the warm embraces of people who love me. In other words, my friends give great hugs. Some of them were comfort hugs-like the kind where you can cry on their shoulder and stain their shirt with your pain. Some of them were “wow, it’s SO […]

crooked lines

Thursday, May 14, 2009

Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage.  The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace. -Matthew 6   The older I get, the more complicated life seems to become.  Someone recently told me that for me, some things are like crooked lines, and […]

Food and travel

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

So I just ate what is quite possibly the most spicy breakfast EVER. I think the chef at the hotel restaurant took a liking to me because I was willing to try his all-Indian, all-vegetarian breakfast option. He kept piling my plate and explaining to me what all the different foods were and then brought […]
