My Newest TV obsession: Pan Am
Just finished watching the latest episode of Pan Am. Talk about intense. This show is just getting better and better with each episode.

Thinking Back to 8th Grade

I remember having so much fun on the bus on the way to places like the Lincoln Memorial and all the girly giggling in the hotel room each night (at that age, staying in a hotel room with your friends was just the coolest thing).
I was...

Harlem Walking Tour
Went on my first-ever NYC walking tour today, a tour of Harlem’s Jewish’s history. The building you see here used to be an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in the early 1900’s and it now stands as a church. If you look really closely at the picture you’ll see a Magen David (a Star of David) right between the pillars and above the sign which remains from its days as a synagogue.
