Fun Photo Friday 2/12

 Another week gone by!

What has Hazel been up to?

Ever get the feeling someone is looking over your shoulder?


I gifted Hazel my water bottle. I don't think it was appreciated.


In other news...

I made a very labor-intensive cake. The labor was more intensive because the batter overflowed all over my oven and started smoking out my kitchen as it burned. In related news, I have a freshly scrubbed oven. In unrelated news, I have a lovely girlfriend who is much more shapely than this cake.


I FINALLY made vegan ricotta. I served it with beets, orange vinaigrette, and quinoa.



Thanks for stopping by!

Fun Photo Friday May 28

 Hello friends! I stayed up to the late, late hour of 10 PM last night, so I am too tired to write an intro. So without further ado... What has Hazel been up to? She wedged herself under my knee. She really likes licking hands now. She's such a cute sleepy; I don't even have something clever to say. Hazel was doing some sort of workout when she noticed me watching. I tried to get her to meow while I was on the phone, but she was too sleepy. Up, up, and away to save the day! What have Hazel's friends been up to? Have you been thinking to yourself, "Wow, these pictures of Hazel are cute, but, like, there's got to be other cute animals out there." Well, turns out you're right! Hazel's friends are also dang cute! Introducing... a new feature of FPF! Let's look at today's spotlight- Juniper the rabbit! Juniper is an American immigrant (emigrant?) living in Sweden and also was inspired by my pile of bananas last week! Note the boop of a nose. In othe...

Fun Photo Friday 3/12

 Hello loyal readers! I took a week off from blogging because I have been crazy busy with cooking, working, studying, and "gardening" (aka actually paying attention to my houseplants... I forgot that my spider plant could be vibrant green, not yellow-green!) Also, I have taken up a new endeavor, drumroll, please... Cello! I played cello as a fifth grader, but I have decided it's finally time to try again. Online lessons are a little less than ideal, though, on the bright side, I don't have to lug a four foot tall instrument to Fishtown. But anyway... What has Hazel been up to? She has been playing with her mouse and the side of the bed in various unflattering positions. But she also has been striking some dignified poses. She remembered that she has her own bed... Alex and I were shocked to find her in her bed for the first time in probably a year at least. She has not yet figured out the magic of pushing doors. In other news... Did you know you can make a sweet pie o...

Address to 2021 Graduates

  Today some former students contacted me, telling me they had just completed the AP Latin exam. They wanted to thank me for the role I played in getting them to that point. It was touching to see that, even though I bailed on that career choice after only two and a half years, I had still made a lasting impact in the lives of some great kids. That got me feeling introspective about my decision to leave teaching in December 2019 and about the life I’ve led since. It had me wishing I could make a speech to that graduating class of Latin students, an opportunity I gave up when leaving halfway through their junior year. I realized I could still write it out, and, hey, maybe some of them will read this after all. Salvete, discipulae carissimae, Don’t worry, the rest of this is Anglice. When we met in August 2017, it was your first day of high school. It was my first day of having a job. This may come as a surprise because I made efforts to seem like I was an old hand in the classroom. ...
