This about sums it up for me today, people! I went to bed feeling like this. 😦 I woke up feeling like this. 😦 And as the morning has progressed, I'm trying to talk myself off a ledge. Let it not go without saying that the work two doors down is not yet complete, so … Continue reading I’m Going To Use…

I am a firm believer that no matter where we're from, it is always a part of who we are. The place where we grow up and spend our formative years is instilled in us, no matter how far away we may move. As a Native New Yorker, you will never, ever hear me say … Continue reading “Get Rid Of Your Americanisms”…
