  • Notes of a Non-Native

    I was running tonight. I spend a lot of time running lately. Running and eating...two things I used to have a pathological fear of. I used to fear running because it meant that I was living in my body. That I was som…

  • Momentum, Fragmentum

    I'm the world's worst blogger lately.This is more the result of having taken 20 flights in the last 6 weeks; 4 train trips; myriad trips up and down the turnpike; having been in seven or eight states--not counting the ju…

  • The Imperfect Pancake
