I really love the car wash–they hitch me up and then I start taking photos which come out different every time. This time they seemed kind of dreamy and abstract:

Monday morning–an aventura
Monday DOES roll around… and this one was a surprise. Just as we were packing up it began to snow great big hanky-sized flakes: By the time we were ready, it was really sticking: but we headed out of town: 17 miles of winter wonderland to the top of the coast range: then down into […]
Weekend: the short version.
Friday, Portland, home of pretty coffees: Sunny beach Saturday morning: Saturday dinner at the cosmic cottage: Sunday, bridge drive to Newport:
And Speaking of Brothers…
My brother Bruce in Seattle is a talented photographer. A month or so ago I tried to pirate one of his images to put in this blog but it was so tiny it didn’t work. He very generously gave me a better-sized image so I could post it for you. His real interest is in […]

Where I’ve been
Just off on one of those mid-winter surgical cruises. First they showed me to my room and gave me some interesting footwear. The last thing I saw before the ship pulled out: The knee is healing nicely and blogging should resume next week!
January 20, 2009
Oh wonderful beautiful day. How much all the faces watching the inauguration know that Bush has wrecked us, that we need help. Aretha Franklin, Elizabeth Alexander, the man himself. Michelle with her nuanced looking around, her quick smile. Real people, at last, in the White House. A moment to be savored no matter your color […]
