  • Random Acts of Gnome

    Back in 2010, Jason decided he had too many gnomes hanging around the house and wanted to start hiding them out in the world. For the first, he decided to hide one in the courtyard of our apartment building in among ivy under the tree in the center of the courtyard. Since the gnome was…

  • A Look Back at 2012

    Happy new year! We’re looking forward to a fantastic 2013, but wanted to take a moment to look back at 2012. It was a fun year, though not all of it has been documented here (we only started the blog in June, after all!). Not only did we finally walk across the Manhattan Bridge, listen…

At this point, the youngest in attendance…
