I heart NY
Guess Where I Actually Am
Weights in a window. Butterflies in a room. An interesting collection waiting by the side of the road. (See the horse in the middle?) Someone keeps their hat on their stoop. Time to walk many dogs. Getting somewhere… underground. Look closely for clues… Some clues are at your feet. Some are backwards and some are… Read more »
Fall Along the Northeast Corridor
Fall in Boston (Cambridge in the foreground)… fall in New York (Washington Square Park)… and fall at a train station in between. (Whereas once I would’ve said that these photos were taken thanks to my iPhone 4s, since the most recent iOS update, the best I can say is that they were taken despite my… Read more »

It was… Read more »

“Jarndyce and Jarndyce drones on.”
As often happens, I’ve got tons I’d like to blog about and no time. Ack! So, quickly, I’ve got two recommendations to offer: A book called The Brothers Story, by Katharine Sturtevant. Loved the characterizations, loved being inside Kit’s head while he works through a whole lot of things. If you like BBC productions of… Read more »
