Two men standing in a snow covered park

Arrived in NYC from Paris on Thursday and leave Tuesday—thankfully the trip is mostly about catching up with old friends and going to museums. It’s rather magical though seeing so much snow!

Yes, that’s what I’d hoped for, but that information didn’t make up for the sterility. Like you said, it seemed to transform the into base decoration

I remember trying out an app to do that with my own artwork, just to see the effect and stopped after the first try. Such a cold, sterile presentation. I had the same reaction as you

This goes for non-anonymous connections as well. I’ve found generally that good folk really accept a simple no, without explanations or excuses, while those who gripe or push back are precisely those I don’t want to work with! I feel like this is a secret superpower that has come with maturity

Yes, simple, frank refusals can open so much space for better connection, (once I learned how to do it without guilt). It’s a great life skill!

Oh yes, one of the best things about getting older is learning the simple “no” without explanation needed! Why put up with anonymous trolls? Vade retro satana, and move on with a lighter heart!

Apparemment Vance s’est fait bien hué pendant la cérémonie

OH! We have the same taste, you have exactly described my favorite pizza toppings. Now I’m hungry

Oh oops I reacted too fast. I do remember the Challenger too—the debris trail that stretched over Texas. What year was that?

I still remember watching the takeoff live on television at school in 1986, the explosion was a horrific moment
