desert life





dusty brown dirt,
mangy dogs, pacifico beer
dinner looking onto the fields,
long siestas under palapa,
agave, giant spiders!
friendly people




in bed at 9pm




2 weeks in mexico
is quite a luxury after
an intense fall.

book "life"

i have 2 bags



a tote and a
leather satchel



it couldn't
be more simple.
one aids as a purse
and the canvas tote
carries things,
lots of things



I was in a wood
shop yesterday and
a very manly man
commented on
both of my
bags.



i was flattered
because not often
does design speak to
a universal beauty.



he reaffirmed
the importance
of a good bag.




without a question
my makr is my most
loyal companion.

NYC Marathon





the 10 female
runners in the lead.
with a few trailing
not far behind.





and then
the men came



and the rest
of the masses.





i don't mean to boast
but i think myself and my
neighbors were some of the
most dedicated cheerleaders
at the nyc marathon.


the runners looked
exhausted as they were
nearing the halfway mark
of the 26.5 mile course,
in bed stuy brooklyn.


and this ain't
manhattan or the
prettiest part of bk so
we had to give them
everything we had


it's amazing
when you call out
a runner's name and
the pain in their face
relieves for a moment
and they give u the most
genuine smile you've
ever seen.



what amazing
display of endurance.
i will be stoked for
a week.



cheers to
all the people
who ran today.



y'all were
insane!
