It Just Seems ColderThough
Winter is sneaky. I washed, folded and packed up all my fleece blankets, when the nights got warmer and the days got hot. Two days of frolicking in shorts and a tank top, taking photos of the pretty weeds to remember them by, after I mow their cute little selves down with the mower.

Inshallah
Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
