When I was very young, we lived in North Olmstead, Ohio. Presumably, right about here, on Summerland Avenue. In fact, looking at that map, the street names are all familiar. It’s funny how street names can do that.
Anyway, I have some pictures to share. These were mostly loaned to me by my mom, so that I could scan them in. Many are so old I actually hadn’t been born yet, but a number feature my sister and I. Enjoy.

When I was rather young, I loved trains. I was probably in elementary school or younger during this whole time, so I was still rather young. But I just loved trains. I have pictures of me as a child wearing my “conductor hat.” We lived a couple blocks from a railroad, and I used to [...]
Late last year, my mom loaned me a bunch of her old pictures to scan in. I’ll be posting them here as time goes by, they’re going onto Flickr as we speak. This is the first batch – they are all from long before I was born. I mean, there are pictures of my grandmother [...]
I’ve really been enjoying the show Chef Academy on Bravo. I’m a reluctant fan of some reality shows, and this is definitely the type that I do like. They’re only interesting if they are about “creating” something – in this case, food.
