If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite? My whole family. We haven’t all been all together for awhile. If it’s unlimited, I’d have everyone I love from both coasts.

Age and Time

What do you think gets better with age? Understanding, wounds, investments, cheese, wine… Time heals. The passage of time is interesting. It ages everything, but it also softens and smooths.

Things I Didn’t Know

Its supposed toContinue reading “Inches away”

I’m not right, always, in fact Im often wrong and easily admit it.. But when I am, it’s obvious. Still, I run into thatContinue reading “Calling out aesthetic issues”

Cottage summers

Like safari in Africa, searching for pizza in Naples, camping in Yosemite… Visited the Louve, the coliseum, the Mall, two Disneys, Banff, Lake Louise, the sequoias, Hawaii… But I still love my early memories of going to ourContinue reading “Cottage summers”

What is your favorite genre of music? I like a lot of different music genres. I think I have a wide pallete for many things so it’s hard to say just one.
