As I slowly emerge from my cocoon, I am also getting back to my volunteering. At the Red Cross. In managing our building’s YahooGroup. In assisting with the neighborhood association.

If I can make it happen, I try to get out to Coney Island on every trip to the city. A nice train ride down to the beach. Unfortunately, our past two trips have been in November and January — not a great time to go to the beach! Our next trip will be in

meals: hello fresh
As I mentioned in more adventures in cabinet excavations, I subscribed to a meal service when we returned from spring break. I’m not sure how long or how often we’ll use it, but we’ve had a few boxes delivered so far. When looking at the options (Plated, Blue Apron, HelloFresh), I went with Hello Fresh
