This time of winter, we all feel sort of strange. We have made it to February, but spring is still so far away. Part of us wants to hibernate and part of us is craving to be around people.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end”

Semisonic was on to something.

Change is in the air.

The days are getting shorter and colder. Memories of our active summer vacations are fading as a cozy night on the couch looks more appealing.

There is no place like home, right?

My sister has a framed print that says: "It's always better when you go outside". I tend to agree, especially when it comes to food.

If you are like me, you have taken some strange excursions. Whether it is backpacking in Europe, running away to India or wandering around Chinatown on a Tuesday afternoon.

You know the feeling. Work was terrible. It’s cold and rainy and it took you twice as long to get back to your neighborhood because of "train traffic”.
