I'm getting kind of excited about spending some untethered time in NYC. I feel like circumstances are aligning. The sun is expected to shine in mild blue skies.

Schooled in cheese.
Over the years, I've learned a lot about cheese. My earliest cheese memories center around my regular lunch order - Muenster on white with mayo.
