Lines.

Surprisingly, no line to vote at my local Brooklyn polling place this morning.  But the line outside the gas station 400-feet from my apartment is five days strong. 

At Home With Mia & The Girls.

My friend Mia with her daughter Ruby, and dog Frankie.  I love the love in this house.

Missouri Fall.

I made it back home to Missouri for Fall - for the first time in a long time.  Living in NYC, I tend to miss Fall most years, so I was excited to finally see some color.  I was also warned not to expect much, given the super drought and heat this summer in the Midwest.  But the leaves pulled through.

Those Summer Nights.

As the first day of Fall blows in, I figure it's fine time to post some pics of the departing Summer.  Summer nights, to be exact.  Those precious hours when the heat finally breaks and the eyes stretch to find shape in the thickening dark.  'Til next year, hotness!

Cooking with Dieter.

My good friend Mari starts dinner as soon as she gets home from work.  It's Dieter's turn with Mom. 

Adventures in Dogsitting.

As most who know me know, my great regret of city-work-travel life is not having a dog.  But thank my lucky stars, I have a new friend in town.  A friend with a dog.  A friend who let me borrow that dog for some good dog wrastling.  I took my temporary dog to the country for a romp.  Needless to say, I am in love.
