It became clear that we were moving from Brooklyn to New Hampshire. Quite a change, to be sure, especially considering that before three years in Brooklyn/NYC, we had been living in Chicago (5 years for me, 7 for Laura).

The latest research seems to indicate that a few cups of coffee per day keeps cirrhosis away. Seems to be the perfect way to balance out the 17 beers a day needed to prevent prostate cancer.
Smart beer drinkers will have already noted that the hop content in the tested beers was most likely miniscule, [...]
We’re walking in the Prouty this year and hope to raise a few dollars for cancer research. Please click the link and take a look at our ProutyPage, where you can also make a secure online donation.
We’re also walking in Skip’s Run, which is organized by some friends of ours, and yet again benefits cancer [...]
Decided it was time to spiff up the joint. Don’t like this look? Feel free to impose your own view with the handy-dandy Style Switcher widget located in the sidebar!
