Summer’s nearly over. But I love fall, a REAL fall, with colored leaves and crisp air and a few sunny days. Sweaters, boots, coats, scarves, and no more sunscreen (except on the face). Plus it means that Freya’s second birthday will soon be here. I look forward to her third year, when she will begin […]

Here is the card I made for my brother He’s a professional musician 🙂 It’s funny… he is one of the few people I know who has made a career out of the thing they love and are talented at. He’s so lucky for that! Yesterday I took Freya over to my dad’s house, where […]

I’m listening to “Only Shallow”. I’ve loved this My Bloody Valentine record for so long I don’t even remember when I first heard it. It had to be sometime in 92, probably when I was working at what was then known as a “CD store” across the street from Alderwood Mall. The funny thing about […]
