confessions of a reformed tourist
I used to take lots of videos. Short things, nothing too special. The idea was to capture a minute’s worth of what my life in Grenada was like. What Bean was like as a baby. For a while I forgot about the videos. I was busy with other things. Primarily, being miserable. But recently I’ve [...]
It’s just a little over a year now since we left Grenada. I considered writing an epic post about the cold, reverse culture shock and how diet Coke doesn’t really matter to me as much as I thought it did. But I figured I’d spare both of us that discomfort and instead share a video [...]

YingYang wrote a post starring my boobs my jealousy-inspiring Obama tank top. I’m tickled senseless by that, as well as by her Lesbians in Banks post, and I love the images she captured of our extra-rainy November. The Bajan Reporter responded to my post Joys of Tropical Fabrics, where I mentioned how hard it is [...]
