Today I put a new plant* in the tank where Wink* and Fillyjonk* live. They seem quite happy about it, as fishes* go.

the everlasting tale of change
Yesterday on WNYC there was a wonderful interview with author Maurice Sendak during which, among other things, he discussed the sadness of losing loved ones as one gets older. Yesterday, too, was the funeral for my Uncle Duke, which I wish I could have been at. Though he lived most of his life in Rochester,… Continue reading the everlasting tale of change
diamonds and stripes on a wall
step one: a diamond or argyle pattern Wall adventure on the weekend! I began by measuring out marks every 10" at base of chair rail, and at the top of the floor board moulding. From there I taped Xs to create the large half diamonds. When those were complete and tape removed, I cut a small… Continue reading diamonds and stripes on a wall

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
In which we await hurricane Irene
I'm scheduled to be at a wedding on Monday afternoon. Unfortunately, it's slated to take place on the beach at Montauk, the furthest end of the south fork of Long Island. Poor timing to say the least. Weather.com is still saying it will be sunny and windy, high of 76 and 0% chance of rain… Continue reading In which we await hurricane Irene
In which I travel to Baltimore and meet Luna, then to Adamstown to collect old things
An overabundance of action and sunlight: lizzie and luna in kelley's car The waiting line on 33rd and 7th Avenue on Work Island is an object lesson in chaos; a spectacle to be avoided at all costs if you're not there to board the Bolt Bus. As if that weren't enough, the bus to Baltimore… Continue reading In which I travel to Baltimore and meet Luna, then to Adamstown to collect old things
tiny buildings and an angry boy
"A Tiny City springs up from a crack in the pavement" (actual date 08.18.11-ignore typo) "A boy is angry" Finally some drawings I like very much, without coercion! happy.
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 in the morning, anyway,) In one dream, the cabin we were in was derelict and decrepit and had no glass in the… Continue reading edits -like haircuts- begin with sharp edges
