Labor Day
I'm having a strange sense of deja vu. It's Labor Day, and I am on deadline, so here I am sitting in front of my computer (as I have been much of the weekend), and it just occurred to me that this was also the case on Memorial Day weekend. I worked away all day,… Continue reading Labor Day
post Irene and the waning days of summer
I've been catching up on news of damage caused by hurricane Irene. While Brooklyn and much of NYC were largely less affected than expected, there was so much flooding and wind damage elsewhere, and so many without power. It's frightening to watch, as these types of severe storms are growing more and more common. It… Continue reading post Irene and the waning days of summer
edits -like haircuts- begin with sharp edges
Listening to Joanna Newsom-- Ys. I woke suddenly at 6:30 this morning and almost had trouble returning to sleep. But it didn’t last. (That trouble is one that never lasts with me.

Not as fun as some of the other things, but I will aim to work on… Continue reading summer.
wink’s new tankmate
Wink & Fillyjonk, red and white comets rescued from a feeder tank Meet Fillyjonk, Wink's new tankmate (she's on the right, with the solid red dorsal stripe). They've been doing some fish get-to-know-you dances since yesterday afternoon, when Fillyjonk was introduced into the wink-tank. Fillyjonk's name comes from the Moominvalley books by Tove Jansson. They… Continue reading wink’s new tankmate

Wink in his new condo– a fluval edge tank the wink tank (note: poor miss mimsy passed to the other side last week.)
New digs
New front room in progress; looks much like the front room at 105 The North Slope feels like a phantom limb. Time to explore my new neighborhood; get the lay of the land. Just at the moment everything feels far away. Feeling good about the new space, though. Moving is odd and sudden; takes time… Continue reading New digs
