I had my first real working day today. Yesterday I gathered and printed the couple hundred pages of notes, research and drafts I have and organized them into chapters, in one notebook. Today I woke and out of my routine, if I can say I have one on day three, I went to the colony […]

***Happy Birthday Noria*** One of my new neighbors as seen from my front window: The quiet is incredible. I woke up this morning and it really struck me that I couldn’t hear anything except wind in the trees. I’m adjusting to the darkness and silence, which at night can be a little spooky, at least […]

(Bavarian for “It’s tapped!”) We drove upstate to my first Octoberfest yesterday.

For years I named my shoes. I grew up in Hollywood, where shoes and hair are everything, so from the time I was old enough to do anything about it, I’ve never had fewer than 30 pairs. The naming didn’t start until college–I stacked boxes to the top of my closet, inscribed with the names […]
