Bean & Leaf Cafe: a rainy day, coffee shop Sunday afternoon
Today is a rainy day Sunday. Despite my long laundry list of things to accomplish, I find myself at the Bean & Leaf Cafe in downtown Rochester, sitting at a window seat table, looking over the corner intersection.

Pour a glass; it's time to un(wine)d.
Tonight, I attempted to burn the midnight oil at work but called it quits around 11:15pm so I could walk out with a coworker. I’m incredibly busy right now and this project that I had previously sunk days into from February has finally come back to me, as was promised – though I hoped I…

Day 1
Nothing holds as much promise as an unwritten page, or blog – as the case may be. Somehow, the Friday before the March 15th tax deadline seems as good a time as any to begin this project. Writing one page at a time – it’s the new approach I’m taking on life so why not couple…
