Woke up snug under my covers but realized that the pilot light had gone out in the ancient (25 years?) heater in the cottage. It was nearly impossible to figure out how to relight the heater, so I figured I might be slightly chilly until Monday when the top ranked on Yelp heating company returned to the of...

    That –– Not At All Bad, or N.A.A.B. –- was the highest praise that my Junior year Versification Professor at Yale would give any poem.  Seriously.  That was her highest compliment.  I think below that was, Not Bad, Not Too Bad, Not Too Good, Not At All Good.   And again, I swear I’m not...

(The alternative title to this blog was “Hung” but I drew the line there.) I literally bolted upright at 4am, realizing that we had mis-measured the canvas stretchers for the large new canvas.   Basically, it’s tricky to do and/or explain but we were measuring them as though they were fra...

This morning, taught a yoga private (which turned into something else –– but valuable), and then returned to wake up Adrian (with Belle, the co-presidents of “The Sleep The Day Away Club”) and then journeyed to Sam Flax to figure out the frame situation for the 9 drawings for my show at Cavallo...

So the rest of the world is entirely on vacation, however, for us … Woke and began conferencing with my web guy about some site restructuring. Then I realized my 1 pm client call was really at 10 am. Finished just in time to head to the Apple Store where I was relieved to learn my problem with Itunes...

It does feel like the rest of the world is on vacation while I am working away. A 6:30 am yoga client, followed by a few important biz conversations, and a selected invite to my January through March show at Cavallo, and even a re-configuration of this website. Although perhaps the most exciting thing of a...

So many projects today. I’ve never stretched any of my canvases before –– I just sent them to my amazing, top secret Chinatown place –– but now that I have four poster-sized ones to stretch for January 3rd, it’s time I learned (the 2 much larger ones I’m thrilled to say are being hung by ...

Is Die Hard. Yuletide spirit + Family values + defeating the sorta terrorists. Adrian and I watched it –– he’d never seen it before –– while I cooked 2 Cornish Game Hens, after a morning with Susan and John and the Tates and a visit to Grace Cathedral. And now … Exhausted even though it’s...
