Here it is: The Things We Find Glue a coin to a sidewalk in a public place. The meaning of “coin”, “sidewalk”, and “glue” are of …

Dearly Beloved
March 28th, 2014 Hello, I received Aida’s letter in the mail today. It was… a little soggy. The text was still legible, but the picture was ruined. Aida sent me a picture of the original though.

Love on the Morning Commute
I hate the morning. Just about anyone who knows me knows that it is my least favorite time of day, that is unless it involves my bed, pancakes and strawberries or both– in that case I am ALL ABOUT mornings. Sadly, my mornings most often consist of blanket lines on my face as I struggle …

Water Under The Bridge
I am a teacher of writing. The maxim I try to hammer home to my students above all else is this: be specific. So when I received this mission, to write a love letter and put it in a public place, I had a problem. How could I write a love letter specific enough to …

Breaking the Code
The completion of this month’s task brought me to an unlikely place. Notre Dame! Tucked away from the gilded dome and Touchdown Jesus, the biology building at Notre Dame is an unremarkably squat, rectangular brick building. There, my friend Matt is working on something that will hopefully make the world a better place. Matt is …

Understanding the CouchSurfing Experience
I’m an active member of CouchSurfing. The premise of the website is quite simple: traveling is fun, lodging is expensive, and hotels are a shitty way to see the world, so why not introduce travelers to hospitable locals? While I don’t travel much myself, I do love meeting new people, especially those willing to rely …

Here’s a Man
[wpvoting] Here’s a man who is six feet tall. Here’s a man who is 5’11”. And a half. Here’s a man who is maybe 5’11”. In the morning. With shoes on. Height is subjective. Here’s a man who bakes because he loves creating things with his own hands. Here’s a man who bakes because baking …
