“How can you live so far from home? I couldn’t take it when I just moved to another state.” says girlfriend number one me: “Well…I am super busy doing activities that I love. I rarely have time to think much about it!” “Don’t you miss your family and friends? says girlfriend number two me: “Of course I do! But I know I’ll…
Before Amsterdam, I lived in Tampa, FL, very close to the Gulf of Mexico. Every time we would go to the beach, Subway sandwiches under arm, we knew that the hundreds of shore birds would be eager to meet us. Though they were a nuisance when we were trying to eat our food, I am glad that we were leaving behind some bread crumbs, or a…
I am quite a busy chick these days. Not that I am complaining…being busy is awesome if you are doing things that make your heart/mind satisfied. This is entirely the case with me. By day, I’m trying to tease out mechanisms of progression in pancreatic cancer (yes, I have heard about the new diagnostic test developed by a 15 year…

For my international readers who have no idea what that means…it’s almost Valentine’s Day. Beware of public displays of…
YAY! Even the birds are happy in Amsterdam today! No more scurrying along on half frozen canals…the weather has slightly warmed up melting all the brown, disgusting slush.

Furthermore, he is quite irritated that after finally getting a shot at the spotlight,…
NOW WITH SPIRULINA! If you have set foot in a health food store you have seen this mystery “spirulina” fairy being touted as the cure to all ailments. You can find the mystery ingredient in nearly everything, from chewing gum, candy, pasta, and tea. But what is it exactly? Don’t feel ashamed, I also blindly consume trendy health food items…
I am sorry to bring it up…though I know that you’ve had a chance to think about it at some point. Yes. Your parents had sex. It is the only possibility for creating such an awesome human (yes…I mean you). Studies show that there is a 0% chance they refrained from bumpin’ uglies if you are sitting here reading this blog.…
