I found another great travel list on Business Insider. Definitely more fodder for my bucket list. Here is the list with the ones I’ve done crossed out: Ride a dogsled through the backcountry of Sweden. Taste some of the best pizza in the world in Naples, Italy. See the great wildebeest migration in Africa’s Serengeti National…

Books of 2015
I’ve never really been able to stick to a reading list. Inevitably an awesome sounding book comes my way and I have to derail my plans. This year, I’m actually giving myself assigned reading so I can power through some of these books I’ve either half-read or have been putting off for a bit. Here…

We’ve taken a number of measures: flipping through the pages of every book, knocking on walls, pulling out the insulation in the attic, testing out wood paneling. We’re considering pulling…
Things to do in my twenties
I creep steadily towards my 28th birthday. Don’t worry, I’m not going to complain or say I feel old. However, there are a few things that are on my to-do list that I think would be better done within the next two years than in my thirties or later because I doubt they will be as…
A Snippet of Seattle Public Transportation
A couple of weeks ago my dear dear 1999 Honda Civic started making strange noises and shaking.

I’d been holding onto her for a while because she belonged to my grandmother, may…
