Fancy dreams this morning— traveling. Somewhere in the UK: an old, wood-carved and velvet house, rambling and endless. Met a racehorse in the breezeway; sport of kings and single malts neat. Took a million photos and woke up really wishing I could see them.
Anticipating a shift
Summer’s second bookend, this weekend. Labor Day is past. But the mercury’s back up, and New York City has ‘extended beach season*’. Here’s something that seems to happen regularly in my business practice. Work gets a little slow after a period of hustle, so I decide to use the time productively / proactively for the… Continue reading Anticipating a shift
People and places; façades and faces
In memoriam: Wink
Wink has gone to the eternal pond; the fish Valhalla. Having never been sick until recently, and having had a number of tankmates (and stolen Filly's color from her)— this magical little jazz-poet of a pond comet has gone.

Excerpts from the sketchbook

I want to ride my bike; I want to clean the fish tanks; I want to write a bangin' blog post as I've been neglectful the past few weeks, largely on account of traveling. Been mostly away the past two weeks. Delightful,… Continue reading In my mind, it was always ‘ceiling’ wax
Haiku for a summer afternoon
A sudden downpour— Shrieks erupt across the street, the playground empties.
On revisiting good things (and people, places)
I ordered Chinese food for lunch yesterday, and my fortune said Good news will be brought to you by mail. A few hours later I was headed out to pick up some things, and when I checked the mail, there was an envelope from a friend overseas! Inside was a beautiful double-sided card, collaged with all… Continue reading On revisiting good things (and people, places)
