Tomorrow I’m on the road. The next time I post here I’ll be living in Asheville, NC. See you soon!

Postcard From Here
The enforced interiority of bad weather is settling upon us. I haven’t been making a lot of photographs lately as it is, so I have little visual to offer at the moment. I don’t even have yarn to knit with.
The upshot of it is: Sandy the impending Frankenstorm is putting everybody else into a suspended state similar to that I’ve been in for the last few weeks. I’m not sure, however, that misery really does love company.

So, everyone is bracing for the Frankenstorm. I am having a hard time getting worked up about it, just on general principle. Which pretty much guarantees it’ll be a monster.

Population: me.
The weird interregnum continues. I drift around to big box stores and design boutiques, learning about home appliances and tiles. I spend hours at the library, reading—you know, actual paper books you miraculously do not have to pay for—a wonderfully old-school pastime.
A week from today I’ll be in Asheville, for good. The new adventure will commence in earnest.
I’m looking forward to it, but I’m frightened too. And it will be very strange to go from this weird interval of lull to full-bore activity on so many different tracks.
Diner
Contemporary nostalgia: a yearning in the present for a past that never quite was.
Hipster Breakfast
If someone told me that this would be breakfast for the rest of my life, I could live with that.

The Narrow Gate
The greater the barrier to entry, the less sure I am that I want to go there.
