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.

"J" is for "June" and "Job"


Well I feel like a horse's patootie: I cannot believe I have not written a post since March. It is not fair to you all, and it has left me feeling like I have bottles up inside of me, and I need to write to get them out! I feel guilty and alien, as if I went off to war, leaving my beautiful young wife to run the ranch that is our blog. And now I am returning, battle weary, from my tour. Unfortunately, the war was more of a civil one with my own lethargy and indifference, and now we all have to bear with my postbellum reconstruction. It will be painful, and I will be slow to open up to you again, but in the end the most important thing is that we are all reunited.

What has happened since my post of March 26 that Danielle has not written about? There are already posts about our spring break trip, our vacation back home in MN, the day trip to Ocean City, NJ...oh yeah: I got a job. Since mid-April I have been working for a federal contractor as a writer for the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED). I get to work from home, which is a mixed bag, but I also get to travel a little, which is a plus for me. So far I have only been to San Diego for work, but it was a great trip! The company that develops one of BUMED's healthcare IT systems is based in San Diego, so I will probably be back there again. I also visited the Naval Medical Center San Diego and am hoping to have opportunities to check out other Navy medical facilities around the country.

Beyond the new job, to be honest, there is not much to report. Danielle has been doing a great job on the blog, though, has she not? Well, I guess I will sign off now: better to start slow and ease myself back into our relationship. I hope to write you all again soon.

Later gators,
Rory
