I have recently been made aware of a quirk of mine that I didn’t realize I had, during a chat with my friend, Colleen. Every year, I take a trip by myself to a city where I can explore, write and set my own agenda. I was telling her about this year’s trip to New … Continue reading “All of your lists” – An amateur self-psychoanalysis of an introvert
Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 7
“Did you clean your butt?” I asked. “Yes, daddy,” my daughter (Ivy) said, not even attempting to contain her chuckling. “Did you clean your bits?” I asked. “Yes, daddy,” she said, the traces of her smile still apparent in her voice. “Did you wash your hair?” I followed up. “Yes, dad! I did everything!” She … Continue reading Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 7
Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 6
Mile-marking: Ivy is 4.75 years old. She’s approaching 60lbs and is as long as train smoke. She is shedding the car seat in favor of a booster seat. Her favorite song is anything from KPop Demon Hunters, but especially ‘Your Idol’ by the demon fellas. She has finally joined the ranks of peanut butter and … Continue reading Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 6
Collingswood Review: Zeppoli – Bistecca Enna
Firstly, a word on courtesy – I contacted Zeppoli via their general “Message Us” inbox from their website. In the email I’ve drafted for this occasion, I tried to make it pretty clear that there is no chance of my review conjuring up any additional patronage as I am both a culinary and internet nobody. … Continue reading Collingswood Review: Zeppoli – Bistecca Enna
The State of Illinois vs. Charles Cretor
Hello. This is a fictional court case contrived by the author of this blog, solely to supplement a pizza review. My apologies if you were looking for actual content or information. There is none here. I understand if you feel slighted and want to boycott my website forever. I don't blame you. But if you'd … Continue reading The State of Illinois vs. Charles Cretor
Collingswood Review: Cafe Antonio’s II – Grandma’s Pizza
I don’t know what happened to Café Antonio the 1st. If, by chance, it has transitioned to the big pizza oven in the sky, I hope it’s looking down on Tony Jr. with the damp smize of a dad realizing his boy is going to be alright without him. Grandma, too, should rest easy, knowing … Continue reading Collingswood Review: Cafe Antonio’s II – Grandma’s Pizza
Mental health advice from some random guy
After all of the subjects that I’ve tackled in this blog, I’ve finally been defeated. I managed to find humor in everything from cilantro to racism (or at least they were funny to me). But this one is decidedly and almost completely un-funny. I kept writing and writing, figuring that the humor would come organically … Continue reading Mental health advice from some random guy
Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 5
Status update: Ivy is almost 4 years old. She is almost 4 feet tall and refuses to stop growing. There came a point during this past year when we virtually stopped using a stroller but I can’t pinpoint when exactly that was. She loves dresses, strobe light dance parties, mac and cheese, and riveting conversation, … Continue reading Review (in progress): Fatherhood Pt. 5
Litterbug: An Earth Day Special
This one is dedicated to my wife, Megan, one of the earth’s greatest champions. Foreword: Several weeks ago, a bird built a nest on the wreath my wife and I keep on our front door, then laid five eggs. After what must be hundreds of hours of incubation, we now have a tiny baby bird … Continue reading Litterbug: An Earth Day Special
The Collingswood Review: Maria’s Bread Sandwiches NJ Tomato Soup & Mushroom Grilled Cheese
I’m going to tell you something straight from the jump; this is not going to be a negative review. If you were hoping for one of my 0 out of 10 eviscerations, I hate to disappoint you, but this will not be one of those. Before I tell you that this soup and sandwich combination … Continue reading The Collingswood Review: Maria’s Bread Sandwiches NJ Tomato Soup & Mushroom Grilled Cheese
