The Freshest Grocer

It's 3:30 a.m. on Friday night as you stumble into Fresh Grocer to grab some supplies: raspberry fruit spread jam (not jelly); Skippy Peanut butter (smooth, of course); Martin's potato bread; skim milk (not the preferred 2% for fear of the roommate's wrath). Yes, the perfect compilation for a late night feast.

The first time I saw the ballot for Best of Penn '07, the nominations sent me in a tizzy. That Econ professor earns a nod for "allegedly" bludgeoning his wife to death?

Hello friends, acquaintances and people who stalk me on Facebook. It's been a busy week for me, filled with nightly blackouts, and spitting game even Mark Zoller couldn't compete with (besides Texas A&M). Things aren't what they used to be.

A little after midnight last Thursday my mom called to tell me my grandpa had died. And over the past week, I've found it hard to know how to grieve for my grandpa, who we called Pater.
