Merry Christmas Eve! I just got back from a coffee date with a baby, which I think was a pretty perfect way to start the day. It's POURING here in Brooklyn, so it's entirely possible that I won't leave the house for the rest of the day (except that Madewell, which is 7 blocks away, is having a massive sale... so we'll see, we'll see). 

In other news, I just finished John Steinbeck's East of Eden. Some books I don't travel with, but this one lived with me wherever I went. This prompted a new blog series (that I am 98% sure I won't keep up with): Travel Reads. So for now, let's consider this a one time thing.
