643 & Me

The ins and outs of life on the other side of the Raritan. Or, How I Survived My Move To Monmouth County, NJ (with Instagram and Tumblr as helpmeets)

Yay! Sledding down Hollywood in #strongbranch ... in my car. (at West End, Long Branch)

And I've had #thenational #troublewillfindme spinning all afternoon. Ok, summer. I'm now ready for you. Bring it.

The side porch is finally ready for company.

So grateful for a day full of amazing-factor with my W. The porchness is coming alive once again. Thank you, @weatherly for the green thumb good vibes!

This is the satisfied look of a gamer who scored enough points to get "Ralphy" on his TMNT game; this is the photo of a doting Titi who hasn't posted a damn picture in ages. And this, yes, is a shared Spiderman blanket, between two buds, lazing away the early morn and dreaming of summer vacation (OK; that would be me...)

Exploitative snow-on-porch shot. But I seriously can't wait for spring.

My first Monmouth County winter.

Today, in the midst of faculty day silliness, my bff gifted me this little Angry Girls book; gosh, but it's pretty wonderful to know that not everyone thinks I'm crazy. It's good to be home again.

It's kinda hard to keep to New Year's resolutions when I visit Miami...

The boob tube monitors on my #americanairlines flight are sooooo modern, I think I might be able to rig my #atari to it. Or maybe just play #pong. Oldest. Plane. Ever.

A year in (some) meaningful (and inexpensive) wines. 2012 offered me more than I can picture here; it introduced me to a new favorite, Petalos Bierzo 2008; allowed me to continue to find old favorites, even with a new address, like Lan Rioja 2006; helped me discover some more cheap, decent Spanish and Portuguese varietals (thank you Wegmans) and above all, allowed me to share these gems with the people that have made each wine worth sipping (or chugging). Happy New Year to all my peeps! Here's to new discoveries, in vin or otherwise, and to our collective resolve and dreaming. Yeah. Let's keep doing that.
