By: Gabriela Yareliz One word: Exams. Whole Foods had gluten-free pop tarts as buy-one-get-one-free. It also had a sale on Coconut Milk “Nog.” There is true joy in Manhattan.

Sabbath Reading: Malcolm Muggeridge
I read this today, and I loved it. Malcolm Muggeridge was a journalist (he interviewed Coco Chanel for crying out loud!), satirist, and spy (during WWII). “I may, I suppose, regard myself as a relatively successful man.

I was pressing some little purple flowers in a book, and I thought, it’s funny how something so temporary, like a flower, can have its beauty preserved, even after it’s lifeless.
