I’ve been a book worm since basically forever. I remember one of the first books I learned how to read was Dr. Spocks Where Did I Come From (which probably speaks volumes about my parents and who I am today, but that’s a whole other topic). I remember my dad reading The Jabberwocky and other […]
Welcome! So I did it. I got myself a domain. Which I guess means in internet land, I am now macnamania. I think this implies some sort of commitment to this space, or to blogging, or something. A commitment that I’m not exactly sure I’ve made in any other way than financially, and a tiny […]
I’m preparing for a move. Not physically, I’ve had enough of that for awhile. New blog site coming soon. macnamania done growed up and got her own domain.
7. The start of school. OK, so it’s more than a little cliché to write about the first days of school in September. But I won’t lie, I always get excited for the first day of school. When I was younger I used to get so excited that I wouldn’t be able to sleep the night before. […]

I had only just convinced myself that I really was a runner, but I wasn’t ready to deal with the inevitable” runners’ injuries. Meanwhile, more and more of […]
I first discovered a love for tomato sandwiches in Tanzania. During the end of the dry season all I could get in the market in the way of produce were tomatoes, onions, and sometimes some wilty looking greens. Not too much to work with, but with a good loaf of bread, those tomatoes were turned […]
3rd St. Promenade Dinosaur Last week I went out to California. My first lab/school trip, so the trip was mostly research and work, but also a little play. We visited a number of different places in the few days we were there: UCLA, HRL, NextGen, all on business. And the fact of the matter is […]
July has been a big food and cooking month for me.
