Olyn was going to stay up all night, and I was going to go to bed early and wake up around 4. I was going to drive the first five-hour shift, then switch to nap, then switch back. Armed with AAA directions and a little two-door hatchback loaded with everything we’d need [...]

Each time I sign a new credit card, I wonder what my life will be like when it expires. Will my last name be the same? Will my address be the same? Will I be able to use a credit card where I’m living? Will my credit limit have quadrupled? [...]

When I was in college, I went to many concerts in venues of various sizes with music of myriad genres. All of them have some special memory linked to them — the power outage, arriving by boat, or watching the back-up guitarist stare at the girl in the front row while the lead singer [...]

Last year, I created the Central Park Passport off of a four month idea, but I drew it up in a single weekend. My first sketches/pages were done on the roof of my building and that Friday evening I wandered through Central Park with Meghan and Sarah trying to capture any missing ideas. [...]

The first time my dad came alone to visit me in New York, I had a graduate school class in midtown during the time when he flew in. Normally, I would have taken the subway home but I was eager to see my dad and get dinner, so I tried to hail a cab. [...]

“No you can’t touch the dinosaur bones!” I insisted.
“But we live in a free country.” Makil protested.
