A look back on 2016. Posted in tales of my abnormal life. As I read Facebook statuses and Instagram posts, I see tons of content talking about what a miserable year 2016 was. In politics, celebrity deaths, police brutality, global acts of terrorism, and Florida Gator football, I can agree – it was a rough year. But personally, I had one of the most wonderful years of my life. And the best part? It was completely unexpected. I started off 2016 with a few goals, which I shared here. My BFF of almost 20 yea...

Forecast: a podcast about climate science and climate scientists. With Nature's editor for climate science, Michael White. AGU 2016 restaurant recommendations. December 5, 2016. New stuff in bold. Personal favorites in ALL CAPS. Note: I’ve been to a *lot* of these places, but not all. In particular, I’ve not been to any of the ridiculously expensive places, so these recs are from reading other reviews and guides, and wishful thinking. First, some interesting new joints:.

Mdash; No Comments. Aster: It’s Magically Delicious. I generally stay away from anything that reminds me of “fusion”. An image of two foods singed together, unnaturally meshed, and creating a frankenstein dish makes me very uncomfortable. Why? Often times, I’ve actually pay a lot for this type of “cuisine” at restaurants and doesn’t taste good; it’s usually confusing and leaves my tastebuds in a disappointed state.
