It looks like a wonderful place. I can almost smell the aromas of coffee and paninis when reading your blog post.

Ha ha. Such a humiliating defeat! Oh, and just a note. You might want to change felt-buzz to felt.buzz in the first paragraph of your post!

What a wonderful tribute to your beautiful bride. Happy Anniversary!

What a beautiful place with lush flowers and greenery!

Wow, it must have been a truly magnificent place back in its day. It must be eerie to hear that voice over the speaker telling you that you're trespassing.

You are so talented. I love black and white photography. These photos are so dramatic. And your subject is lovely!

Sounds absolutely amazing, @litguru. My kind of place! I am a seafood fanatic. Last summer on two separate trips to the west coast, I ended up buying fresh fish off a boat — once in Oregon and once in

This is truly lovely, @riverflows. Oh, that last line!

Your writing voice always blows me away, @agmoore. But this one really took me down. You brought such authenticity and raw beauty to the storytelling here. I kept copying passages and thinking, "this

What a heartbreaking story, @neotopher. My heart goes out to Duncan and everyone like him in the world who craves connection but has social awkwardness.

Slooooowwwwllly it's turning into spring! I hope you get more warmth and fewer frosty mornings as the days go by!

I am so glad that things are overall going well for you @grindan! I do hope you can both come to the states for a while at some point. I would very much love to see you guys in person! Life is good for
