An Italian Training Ship
The Amerigo Vespucci, a training ship of the Italian Marina Militare, is named after the explorer Amerigo Vespucci; its home: La Spezia, Italy. My great friend Katie sails boats.

If you’re a city transplant like me, you crave what you lack but so deeply desire: the grass, the trees, the birds, and (hell) even the bees.

A Goodbye to “Girls”
Anyone out there keep up with the show Girls over the past six or seven seasons? For me, it was seasons one and two, then a skip to season six. But I’m glad I watched it. Here are my thoughts. Overall, I think this was a beautiful wrap-up to the Girls series. Though I expected…
