Jessi's Reading, Book Version
Thanks to the new job, I spend 3 1/2 hours commuting each day, giving me plenty of walking and reading time. Last week I read Jonathan Safran Foer’s, Eating Animals. Now to come to terms with what and how I want to eat. Heres my highlights: According to a study published in Consumer Reports, 83 percent of all chicken meat (including organic and antibiotic-free brands) is infected...

NYT's Bruce Weber is Riding Across Country →
I’m now envious of Bruce for two reasons:   He’s at 50/51 states, while I’m still at 37.   He’s spending the next three months riding across the country.

Shots of Stamford & NYC

Ello! I Know →
Maybe one day I’ll get back to writing again, but for now Anthony and I are trying to take more photos…and one day I may finally figure out proper lighting and how to retouch my photos.   Ello! I Know is our little project to make that happen.
