7 Quick Takes: Ham4Ham, Sunsets, and Life in NYC

Linking up with Kelly. —1— I’ve gone to a few shows/concerts over the past few weeks, beginning with a ballet performance of The Golden Cockerel put on by the American Ballet Theatre.

Over at Ignitum Today: Among the Huddled Masses

I navigate subway transfers with efficiency and precision, knowing the exact spot to stand on each platform to minimize my time in… Read More Over at Ignitum Today: Among the Huddled Masses

7 Quick Takes: Fiddler, Tassels, and Spring Afternoons

Linking up with Kelly. —1— A few weeks ago I saw Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway. It was very well done—the cast was so talented!

7 Quick Takes: A Pilgrimage and New Discoveries

Linking up with Kelly. —1— On Saturday, I walked the Pilgrimage of New York, a fourteen-mile walk from the Mother Cabrini Shrine (near the Cloisters) to the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Shrine (near the Staten Island Ferry). We started at 9:00am and arrived at our destination for 6:00pm Mass. We lucked out and had beautiful… Read More 7 Quick Takes: A Pilgrimage and New Discoveries

7 Quick Takes: Springtime for Villanova

Linking up with Kelly. —1— I’m still reeling from Villanova’s championship win on Monday! I recapped this year’s amazing tournament yesterday.

I was able to take advantage of being in the city for Holy… Read More 7 Quick Takes: Springtime for Villanova

7 Quick Takes: Crazy Dreams, Blessed Is She, and Basketball

Linking up with Kelly. —1— The weather has been all over the place lately—two weeks ago, it was freezing cold with record lows and terrible winds; then last week it was so nice and sunny outside that I went running in the park in shorts! It was great to spend a warm day outside in… Read More 7 Quick Takes: Crazy Dreams, Blessed Is She, and Basketball

7 Quick Takes: Lent, Hamilton, and a Ski Trip

Linking up with Kelly. —1— I’ve been sick with a cold for the past several days, which means that people have been slowly inching away from me whenever I’m on the subway and they hear me sneezing. On the upside, the cold has left me with little appetite, which made Ash Wednesday fasting easier this… Read More 7 Quick Takes: Lent, Hamilton, and a Ski Trip

7 Quick Takes: Post-Blizzard Life

Linking up with Kelly. —1— It was an enjoyable, snowed-in weekend here in New York: Mostly we stayed inside, played board games, and ate ice cream, but we ventured into the snowdrifts to explore for a little bit, too. The subways were down so I couldn’t leave Queens, but I didn’t really need to. The… Read More 7 Quick Takes: Post-Blizzard Life
