ABOUT THE BLOGGERS

Danielle and Rory are newlyweds living in Philadelphia, where they moved from their native Minnesota. They came to Philly for law school at Drexel University, but currently only Danielle has remained strong in her quest. She recently reached the end of her first year, and is now a legal rock star! For the summer she is interning at Philadelphia VIP (see post of February 26, "Spotlight: Philadelphia VIP"). Rory dropped out and is now working for a federal contractor as a writer. Check out the blog, where these happily-married white kids post about their adventures in food, a little travel, and then some more well-earned food. Sometimes, when Rory is asleep, Danielle even throws in some posts about crafts and other boring things, if you're into that.

Journal to the Center of the Earth

Well, the Vikings lost yesterday for the third time, as I am sure most of you know. I was just happy because Danielle and I finally got to watch the Vikes for the first time this season! Thanks to a couple of long-lost Minnesotan friends currently living across the river in New Jersey, we had a great afternoon catching up, eating some gameday snacks, and utilizing their DIRECTV.

I have been feeling pretty bad lately about how inconsistent our blogging has been, but I think I have reflected my way to a breakthrough, and I am going to share a little of my insight with you all now since confession is good for the soul, as they say. Danielle will undoubtedly read this and make me change some stuff, but for now I am going to speak my mind.

Firstly, I am sorry for promising you all certain, specific blog posts several weeks ago which we have not yet gotten around to publishing. Among those topics promised were the Wii and a virtual house warming party. Danielle has told me that she still plans to do a write-up on the Wii, so keep looking out for that, and we will definitely be doing a virtual house warming party in October or early November. I just wanted you all to know we haven't forgotten our promises.

Additionally, I have posted a few times about Tastykakes and my ambitions to launch a secondary quest to our Cheesesteak quest in which we seek out the bestest Taskykakes in the land. Well here is what I have decided: for the sake of our health, budget, and other interests, the Tastykake quest is hereby, officially downgraded to a casual survey. As new Tastykakes come our way, we will let you know about them. Truth be told, they are too expensive and not Earth-shattering enough so far to justify a regular blog feature endeavoring to explore the reaches of Tastykake tastiness. As it stands, FYI, Danielle holds Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes at the top of her list, whereas I have bestowed that honor on Banana Treats.

So I guess it was just those two things that were bothering me: I think that is all for now, folks. I realize this post not be very interesting, but it is cathartic for me and I think that with this out of my way I can begin an era of pure, joyous blogging. With the move out to Philly, the newly-married life, and beginning law school, I got overexcited. I tried to make this blog into something it was not, and I should really apologize to the blog for that, as well as our readers. I think I crossed a real threshold today!

Happy reading, happy trails, happy days!
