Land of the Cheesesteak

Hello hello mis amigos. I am writing a quick “tide over” post before I head off to the airport. I am going to PHILADELPHIA to see my dad! He moved there in December.. and I haven’t been out to see him there yet. I have actually never even been to Philadelphia before! Been to Pennsylvania, [...]

home is…

Home is the place where, when you go there, they have to take you in.

Dear blog friends, compadres, homefries, homeskillets, buddies, amigos, and all the rest,

payin back debt.

Ugh where’s my effin camera when I want it? Upstairs in the office, at home.
Well I just woke up from a much needed 2 hour nap, and even though my body’s still in sleep debt, it was a good start at getting some hours back. I wanted to take a picture of where [...]
