I feel on the brink of something– oh, but don't I always? [Pardon the sarcasm, but it's difficult to escape, especially with 2 beers in my belly and the onset of Autumn.] Wistful, dear Autumn– most emotional of times. It may be on account of my birthing at this time of year– Dunno. Don't much… Continue reading Overmuch, and the discipline of writing for clarity.

Scenes from the Pines
We spent the weekend in Fire Island with some friends; a last chance at beachiness before the true changing of the seasons. We were lucky enough to have landed a lovely house on a beautiful plot in the Pines (thank you Shmul), and even with rain on Saturday it was such a gift of time… Continue reading Scenes from the Pines
Drink n’ Draw
some thirty-second and one minute long poses Last night Kim and I went to the 3rd Ward figure drawing session (with cans of Colt 45 and styrofoam-inspired snacks, such as cheeze doodles™ and munchos™).

Concocting plans like the founding of The Institute of Fun (for Higher Learning)*. Or, upon seeing a hideous and depressing structure (eg The… Continue reading A Baltimore weekend
Long Island City Day
a tease, again– bit o' the map for calendar 2010. Remind me to tell you about it the day of wandering and feeling 'away' in Long Island City– map scanned, pub lunch, PS1 and the pool installation... Also– I will post photos from the Rochester trip soon as well as some from the Delaware Water… Continue reading Long Island City Day
