Happy 2007. New Years with Amy, Justin, Cliff and Wendy.

Kristi and Dave's cat Zoe. Christmas in Brooklyn and Long Island this year with friends and family.

An 8 mile hike with Ellen . Get back to the farm before the sun sets to feed the goats.

they both looked at the space where a couch would've been
she felt her stomach sink, she felt like she could harldy think

My very first flat tire. Fixed it with a little help from my friends. In dress pants.

How is it that I keep on ending up in Minnesota? Here's a shot from a cool exhibit at the new Walker Museum. A cave made out of tape and cardboard boxes.

Happy Thanksgiving.
3 ways to enjoy cranberries.

Nikos and Jamie at Rob and Sheera's wedding. Looking for pics of Rob and Sheera, of course. And Dan. But in the meantime, feast your eyes on the two lovelies pictured above. Nikos just got married in June of this year so he is keen on all the details of Rob and Sheera's celebration.

I love these shoes. Purchased at Barney's sample sale with my pal Clarence. They are so cool, no? Look at the orange in them. I should have worn them for Halloween.

  

Ho Ho Ho-down at Ellen's farm

Happy Halloween!

Nesting in my apartment.  

I am awesome.

So last night I was at Target, at closing (10pm) buying a hook for my towel to hang on my bathroom door. I'm not sure if being at Target at 10pm while it's closing in the Home Repair section was a high point or low point in my life down here.

I bought a really cool hook with a monkey on it. I love it. But when I hung it, I learned that my bathroom door is hollow. Oops. Apparently, this is common knowledge that most doors that are not the front door or a security door are hollow. How did I not know this? I did not know this because I have mostly lived in studios where the only door in the apartment, is the front door.

I love that cute little monkey on the hook.

Guess what starts today?
  

Daily Trivia.
Where is this?
  

I am going to buy this bed from Room & Board.
I am now publishing my pics directly from Picasa.
Why this is so exciting, I don't know.
I am a sucker for anything that promotes hyperorganization, I guess.

Just a bunch of pics from August trips to LA.
West is Best.
Southeast is least.
 
 
  

Have spent lots of time in LA this month. My new friends are tall, bald monsters.

I have been punished for being so vain. So indulgent. For watching too many episodes of "Sex in the City" and buying into the myth of Manolo's.

I could have been a very loyal, profitable brand ambassador.
But alas - my MB's don't lie in a shoe box, but a coffin.

How in the world do I suddenly have this life that finds me in pigtails, sitting on a barrel of hay in spandex at Farmer's market in a town called Hillsborough, holding a puppy in the middle of 30 mile ride in the blazing hot sun having just bought corn for a later in the day BBQ? What have you done with Jamie?

this high summer we love will pour its light
the fields grown rich and ragged in one strong moment
then before we're ready will crash into autumn
with a violence we can't accept
a bounty we can't forgive
night frost will strike when noons are warm
the pumpkins wildly glowing
the green tomatoes straining huge on vines
queen anne and blackeyed susan will struggle rusty
as the milkweed stakes her claim
she who will stand at last dark sticks barely rising
up through snow her testament of continuation

WE'LL DREAM OF A LONGER SUMMER
BUT THIS IS THE ONE WE HAVE
I LAY MY SUNBURNT HAND ON YOUR TABLE:
THIS IS THE TIME WE HAVE

-Adrienne Rich

I told a friend that life down here is "Benignly pleasant." He replied. "Benignly pleasant doesn't sound so bad. Beats living in the fourteenth century." Good point, Todd. Um, thanks.

I'll miss you
Until I meet you
I miss you all the time

I don't want to think about what I don't have
I want to worry 'bout what I've got

My boy Jeremy. Hitched.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikos. And his first drink as a married man.

Another bikeride. Only 20 miles this time. I am the photographer so I am not pictured. But I promise, I did it.

Whenever you move somewhere, people invariably know people in the place where you are moving. The friends pictured below are all courtesy of Ron and Naomi Dulin. Thanks for the friends, friends.

My modest second home.

People always say "take time to stop and smell the roses." Okay.

I love small towns. And this town loves White Squirrels
