New Resolve
Hey y’all. It’s been a rough week. We’re both still reeling from an election that didn’t go the way we hoped. We’re scared for friends and neighbors, and we’re trying to recover from the result and turn to proactive choices. We’re donating to places we think will help. We’re having conversations — at work, with friends…

In a swelter of lingering summer, the weeks have positively flown by, and now we find ourselves facing down October and all the leaf crunching, hot coffee drinking, and birthday celebrating (for Scout) it entails. This month was all about settling in for us. Zelda got (mostly) unpacked and…

March Playlist: Musical Madness, Act I
When you move to New York, there are a lot of things that are…disappointing. Whether you’ve been rewatching You’ve Got Mail since age 7 or gobbling up Serendipity hot chocolates and Canal Street knock-offs on weekend visits, when you finally find yourself in the Big Apple, you quickly learn that the reality does not match…
