  1. The moment when you finish one notebook and start another...

    "And the inner voice said "Write!", and I replied "Yeah, but what will I write?". And the voice said "Write anything! We can fix it in post, but you can't edit a blank page.".

    And so off I go to make marks in the snow of a fresh page...

  3. Fun discovery today - 57th St.-7th Avenue is the closest station to Carnegie Hall. On my way back home, I noticed the tiles on the walls - various famous figures are celebrated with their name, their profession(s), and the date of when they first appeared at Carnegie Hall.

  4. I fell down a hobbit-hole* of recordings of Petra Haden, Alison Krauss, and Lady Moon this week. *I know the standard term is 'rabbit hole', but this is a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

  5. I'm asking those who love the outdoors to post a picture. A picture that YOU took. Just a pic. No description. The goal is to regain peace and harmony without negativity. Ultimately changing the algorithms. Please copy the text, put a picture on YOUR page, and let's look at these beautiful pictures.

  7. And for those of you wondering what I was doing down where the streets have names - I went to the Fountain Pen Hospital to drop off a Lamy with a caligraphic nib that wasn't writing very well, and went back today to pick it up. It fills my heart with joy to know that places like this still exist!
