We toured a house today, a spectacular remodel worth several million dollars. It was very fun…the dramatic stairways and light fixtures, the rooftop patio with the view of the city skyline. What a house. I love looking at houses, new and old ones, the infinite variety, the way light alters hallways and rooms. Observing other

We had little b.g. here for the day. He’s pretty funny these days, talking a lot, sprouting hair, eating squash and pears. The kids had him in the tent playing. He liked it. I kissed and hugged him many, many times. He’s very tasty. Later he sacked out on our bed in the sun. This
This girl is having a birthday tomorrow. Though we’ve been friends for twenty three years, I have few photos of her, so this one of her with newborn Julia extra special. There are also ZERO photos of us together. Next week we’re having supper together, and I’m bringing the camera and changing that. We met
