Fortifications

To go ramble Central Park. 66° and 80% rain predicted. Global climate chaos, anyone?

Holding on

"Holding on to all the happiness, all the beauty, all the future that resides in everything."

(Karl Ove Knausgaard: My Struggle)

Mending

Is such a deep, present experience.

This is the puffy jacket I bought for $7.99 at a thrift store in Reno last winter. It is one of the most expensive clothing items I've ever purchased at a thrift store, and it has been so wonderful.

Hope your next year is kind.

Onions. Just: onions.

Indeed.

Xmas dinner

Yes: it was delicious.

Not quite 1,000

But still pretty lovely.

A thought about size

Understanding the world requires you to take a certain distance from it. Things that are too small to see with the naked eye, such as molecules and atoms, we magnify. Things that are too large, such as cloud formations, river deltas, constellations, we reduce.

Back in NYC

And after a month, this is the floor.

What a huge feeling of relief it was to see the "Welcome to Pennsylvania" sign coming in from Ohio.

Neighbors

Is it weird to know your neighbor by their park parked outside the public library, but not in person?

Cleveland vegan food porn!

Yum.

Coffee and bananas

are an amusing topic when you ostensibly are going to run a locally (bioregionally) sourced cafe in northeast Ohio.

Bananas are also silly cheap when you buy the $1 pre-dumpster produce bags at the supermarket.

Onions! Onions! Onions!

Second Xgiving dinner

Delicious second Xgiving dinner. With podcasts. And solitude.

Vegan comfort food

After spending much of the day doing burst pipe flood remediation and cleanup in a friend's house, alone, I needed some food comfort.

Onions, tofu, poblano peppers, garlic.

The best part about this meal: the checker at the Giant Eagle was baffled by the pablano peppers. As if they'd fallen from the sky. Even after I spelled it several possible ways (the shelf tag spells it "pablano".)
