The World Cup is over and I am still playing Zelda, reading some anthologies, and catching up on tv. It has been another work week. We are officially over halfway through the season, so I need to start looking into jobs for the winter. Financially, things have settled down since May when I was spending a lot on new...
I found a magical package on my door step this week, filled with the sweet Moomin stationery in celebration of The Summer of Moomin, an event at the New York Botanical Gardens.

16th July. Another one of those days where I set off in search of one thing, don't find it, but then other stuff appears along the way. Today I was inspired by old pal Abbie M. She passes her photos on to East Lothian Rangers who post them on their facebook page. Abbie had photographed a broad-bodied chaser at...
I’m headed home to Upstate NY today, to meet some of my high school and college friends for our annual reunion in Saratoga. This year marks the 27th time in the last 28 years we’ve done it, 2020 being our only miss. Thanks a lot, COVID. Here’s my old Substack post on the majesty of Saratoga. It’s a very strange...
