Glowing water, my daughter
When I was four, Pa first took me to see the glow worms. You find them near standing water, he told me, and he held my shoulders as he led me through forest dense as butter at twilight. I could hear nothing but the sound of my feet sliding on pickleweed, and when we got to the lake he kept me awake by prodding me. I could tell that he didn’t do it in a nasty way.

Fall In Love With Everywhere
Mal wrinkled her nose as she inhaled, her senses assaulted by the stench of mildew. She stood in the bulbous cab of a hideous bright red campervan, one eyebrow raised as she glanced at the salesman, who she could only assume was having a laugh.

Harlem Silhouettes
Late in the evenings when the sun has crossed the Hudson River the streets of Harlem fill with magical silhouettes waiting on 135th Street to take a crosstown bus to complete their purpose. I was told when I arrived that one cannot leave Harlem without completing the journey. I soon understood or believed it to be my birthrights to understand that Harlem was not just a stop off the A-train at 125th Street but a piece of the universe where every story ever told was kept. Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Malcom X all agreed the journey needed completion if you were to come to Harlem. There were no exceptions, everyone had a story, everyone had a ticket, even Cousin June Bug from Delphi made the weary journey Up South with a song - for that reason he deservedly deserves a statue somewhere between 110th and 150th street.

Five Different Places to Visit in New York City
New York City is one of the most amazing places in the world! It's a city of twenty-four hour energy, entertainment and action. I lived there for five years, and still don't feel I've discovered all of its nooks and crannies. When talking to would-be tourists, the usual suspects are on their list--Times Square, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park... they are all worthy places to go, but what about a few other lesser-known places to make you feel like a real New Yorker?

Windows: Slice of LA Life
The street here is much busier than the one near my new apartment, and even the place I was at prior to that, a house in a cul-du-sac off of a busy freeway exit. Here, next to the Metro Blue Line, we are setting up machines for projects. It’s a location in LA that is most certainly bigger on the inside. The curb appeal is quite low for most structures in this area, but that can’t be helped with Los Angeles’ version of the L as well as one of the busiest freeways in the country across the street.

The Pawnee Buttes of Colorado
There is a reason why tourists and native Coloradoans alike are drawn to the mountains-- they are awe-inspiringly beautiful and teeming with fun things to do. That is where we spend most of our vacation time in Colorado. However, on this beautiful day in May, we decided to visit an area where we had never been before-- the Pawnee Buttes. The buttes are a part of the Pawnee National Grasslands in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests.

Manitou Cliff Dwellings Explained
The Manitou Cliff Dwellings are located at the foot of Pikes Peak in the town of Manitou, Colorado. Very few tourist attractions attract the mixed reviews of this one. Most of the negative comments come from those who are either annoyed by the fact that the Anasazi (“Ancient Ones”) did not live on at the site of the Manitou Cliff Dwellings (in fact that did not live anywhere near Colorado Springs), or they think the attraction is overpriced, considering the limited area that the dwellings cover.
