Septembers Deep Question

If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?


This answer is very simple.

Be yourself.

Do things that make you happy without regard of looking silly or stupid. Admit that you don't know everything without fear of embarrassment. Be comfortable in your skin, even if that means you lose a friend in the process. If someone judges you for being different, you don't need them. As long as you aren't breaking laws, physically hurting people or being offensive---be yourself. Take chances, make change and enjoy every opportunity presented to you.

Taste of the Arts

Ok, so I'm a little behind on my posting here. Matt and I went to Taste of the Arts last weekend and had a pretty good time. After having been at the Taste of Chicago, the taste of fort wayne was mildly disappointing. It was good, but knowing how many great restaurants we have here in town---it makes me sad that there were only a fraction of all of them represented.

We also walked over to the old fort wayne to visit the re-enactment. Matt had never been to a re-enactment and seemed to be mildly entertained. It makes me want to take him to someplace like Williamsburg or Conner Prarie.

Tangelo!

One new food down, 9 to go.

Review: It was pretty good. I don't know if I could eat them all of the time, but they are pretty good.
