NO SPIDERS

Ok New York, I am leaving you in good hands I am sure, in a spider-free environment at least.

Syncronicity watch: balloons

I noticed this little guy trapped at my subway station. If I could have set him free I would have. Are balloons following me home from California? What does it all mean? Maybe we are all filled with hot air and need to float around more.

2 years

A lovely guy I knew named Charlie died two years ago today. How strange that I am in Georgia. This is on Tybee Island. I imagine you visited this place when you were a kid Charlie.

Details

This is how apartment buildings in New York used to look...not all metal and glass. Some of the new buildings are wonderful as well, but they tend to not have the attention to detail that used to exist. Life is in the details after all, isn't it?
The building I grew up in had a beautiful wooden interior like this in the elevator as well, until the late 90s, when the rippped it out and replaced with plastic. This elevator is graceful and warm. You get in and already feel at home.Imagine having paintings like this in your lobby?detail of dog from that wall piece...I am this woof.

Christmas in every crevice

Christmas can sneak up on you, from the smallest place, the poorest home or the richest. The effort and love of a snowflake hung in a dark New York hallway speaks oceans to me.
