I would bring you here to drink beers and anything but a Quarantini and watch the sunset. I loved this place in graduate school and had my last bonfire here with my classmates.

This is his home I visited in 2014 and it's not that easy to get around Finland. It was a bus and then a long walk if I recall correctly. It feels strangely alive and spiritual, even with no one living there, like a container for living that has the humanity built into it's sinew.

A gift you gave: In college you can be one of 2 things, never both: Awake or Comfortable.

April birthday buddy! 

Taurus' RULE. Have a great Birthday!

Q: What does a TURTLE do on their birthday? 

​

A: They SHELLEBRATE! 

Originally published in 1954, these  essays are models of clear writing about a wide range of subjects (nature, technology, astrophysics, disarmament, his dachshund).  Here is a modest example from ‘Coon Tree,’ in which White weighs the costs of permitting his raccoon neighbor to continue eating the corn he has planted on his Maine farm:  “I am sure of one thing:  I like the taste of corn, but I like the nearness of coon even better, and I cannot recall ever getting the satisfaction from eating an ear of corn that I get from watching a raccoon come down a tree just at the edge of dark.” 

An apartment in Rome, in Trastevere, along with instructions from Scottie on Star Trek telling how to beam himself across the Atlantic on weekends without contributing to carbon emissions, to which Len would not contribute heedlessly, despite the lure of bella Italia.

On his 50th birthday…

The breeze at Dawn has secrets to tell you.
                 Don’t go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.
                 Don’t go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the door sill where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.
                 Don’t go back to sleep.

This is our union organizing experience, in a nutshell (on a good day)

This is the name of the restaurant we’ve long planned to open. 

I wish I could say that this was waiting and parked on Cabrini when you look out your bedroom window like this is a John Hughes film and you're my Molly Ringwald.. 

And for all the times you said my 2008 Prius literally has horses under the hood (because you are just HIGH-larious), now I see if for a similar price I could get sexier horses and a helmet... 

​

Now I kinda understand the appeal.

It's what I love about architecture: scale, history, meaning, enduring, spirit. I could imagine feeling very small there, in a good way, like somehow I made my way here with you-- both miracles by most measures. 

A gift for the gods, these magical little friends bring whimsy and wonder to an otherwise mundane world. From their soft fuzz to their bright color to their kind eyes, wörms on a string are an essential for any upstanding member of society. Their warm persona is sure to melt your heart, creating some new best buddies in the process!

You catch them, I'll cook them. Prior to this project, I had no idea how much you loved fishing but seeing the photos of you as a kid till 20 years ago was endearing. Sure I saw the rowboat at the lake when we went last summer and you asked me how I felt about fishing. My answer is still a soft and negotiable No, however I will certainly eat what you catch assuming it's not out of the Hudson. 

GIFT: a rice-and-bean dinner in Eladio’s refugio, with the trail crew, in a rainstorm
