I’m off. Down Beach Street, a bit of friction missing between my shoes and the wet, leaf-covered pavement. As I round the bend, the wind sweeps at my back and I hear the rainwater trickle and fall into the storm drain across the street.
Warwick Street. The wind picks up as I cross High Street, mostly [...]

The Connecticut River is so beautiful. I’d love to build a little house on the Portland side, in the woods, and watch the leaves change every year…
I saw a 12-car freight train go over the rail bridge, watched the Middletown high school crew team launch and row up the river, and sat on a park [...]

Since 35 Home Ave. (where I’m living this year) is pretty much as far across campus as one can get from 324 Washington St. (where I was living last year), I had to make some tough choices: running choices.
Where am I to run this year? Well, I thought about it. I checked out Google Maps. [...]
I’m not going to describe the Fountain Ave. incident that happened early Friday morning, because I pulled an all-nighter to work with the Wesleying team to keep the campus informed, and wrote enough about it there. Needless to say, if you haven’t heard about it, check out the blog.
I just watched Priya’s video footage of [...]

Everywhere I go, the trees are bursting with color. I can look outside my window at the trees across the street on the big lawn and see their little green leaves poking out. All down Washington Street, there are magnolias with huge white flowers popping out, and there are lots of big, full trees all [...]

And I’m not going to let it get away.
I’m kinda sleepy, but I told my professor I wouldn’t be in class this afternoon (I have no time to do the reading and will probably need a nap before 2:40). And it’s 55º and sunny. So I’m going to take a bike ride to the other [...]
It was actually two days of thoughts, big and small, but I really only remember the things that happened today, so I’m going to just blend them all into one. As you may guess, this is going to be one of those rambling stream-of-consciousness entries that jumps from topic to topic as they come to [...]
I even heard that it may run on the front page! With a picture! In color! Needless to say, I am quite excited.
I’m in probably the best place I’ve been since when I first started going out with Erica, or I graduated from high school, or maybe even since the high-energy days of junior high [...]

For all the abuse and anonymous nitpicking criticism I get on the blog, I was at the hearing at City Hall tonight, and was sitting next to a Middletown resident who reads Wesleying. He said I was doing a great job, and that he just couldn’t understand all the complaints, especially about the heading “In [...]
