returning crumbs

When you open a new bag of chips and half of the bag or more are in tiny pieces because some careless worker smashed them in delivery or stocking, or some inconsiderate customer smooshed them trying to reach something else, don't you just want to return the bag? I do. I want to take them back for a bag of whole chips. Alas, that is entirely too much effort for food that isn't even good for me.

Another cool thing out there is this new website that recently launched. Rainn Wilson (aka Dwight from The Office) helped create it, but I like it for much more than that reason. I like the idea and the responses I've read so far. Check it out: SoulPancake

I Need Spring Break

When spring break rolled around in Arizona, the temperature was already in the 70's and 80's and the perpetually sunny skies were, well, sunny. To me, spring break was more about the break than about spring. It was a week off of school and responsibility, time to take a mini-vacation, catch up on stuff or veg in front of the television.

I now realize that spring break is for the rest of the country. People don't just flock to Cancun, Panama City Beach, and San Diego because they have a week off. They do it because so called "spring" looks like this:

Madison Square Park

Monday morning, I woke up to a winter wonderland. What a way to start the month of March! Even though weather.com advised people in New York to stay indoors due to the extreme cold and the still falling snow, Dustin and I made our way to work and even took the time to capture the morning on his new camera.
