goodbye baltimore. i'm going to miss you. you sure have been good to me. but don't worry, i'll be back soon. with pictures and stories of florence and beyond. don't lose that style while i'm gone- you're a classy city. 

thank you, daniel robert.  

you say it's your birthday (na na na na na na na naa)

twenty whole years on this earth, impressed? you shouldn't be. i mean, im psyched to be "in my twenties" i suppose. it's just old, that's all. right now i'm at the house with the babies. they're watching tarzan as my mother prepares a birthday tea party fit for a two year old so we can all enjoy my birthday. tonight- crabs and beer on the back deck with friends. a perfect baltimore celebration. 20 more days in this city. in this country.

(speaking of leaving- quick question to my buds out there who have done this abroad thing: im not really anxious about being away from home or being in another country but im most worried about packing for living away for a whole year- any suggestions on the intricacies of euro-living?)

20. twenty.

here is my twin brother colin and his girlfriend, my bff, hilary's little sister, amanda. here are two more reasons to return to the beach. two more reasons to look forward to getting into trouble. 

last weekend i returned to the beauty and adventure that is long island, ny. here are a few friendly (enebriated) faces at the local dive (the cedarhurst yacht club). i enjoy my time with these folks. i think i'll go back. ok i'm going to go pack my bag. back sunday night. with more pictures of drunken escapades at the cyc. bye.
