Hi, I’m Casey, and I live in Southern California with my sweetheart, Jason. While I can be found in numerous places online, this particular spot is where I catalog my day-to-day thoughts and inspirations.

Selfishness on a grand scale.</p>http://caseydukes.com/post/1009650583http://caseydukes.com/post/1009650583Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:23:10 -0700<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7orxbsSvZ1qz5qu4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m bookmarking this place in case I’m ever in Williston Park, NY.</p>http://caseydukes.com/post/1006558598http://caseydukes.com/post/1006558598Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:22:23 -0700ice creamcandyretrosignagenomnomnom<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mo69OY7R1qz5qu4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Had a late lunch with my sister-in-law in Seal Beach and then got coffee and walked the pier.
