French bath. Picked this up from wife, whose grandparents were Parisian.

I’m a sucker for van Gogh, I like to get thisclose to see the paint textures

Beautiful piece, reminds me a bit of the view from the train

A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be

"This love is like the ghost of Schrödinger’s dead cat" by Syreeta Muir I’m sure my moans could carryacross 4000 miles. More maybe.They go as the crow flies when I thinkyou’re in another woman’s bed.I have my fingers crossedagainst it— the thought of your closed curves,yo...

This haunting piece from Syreeta Muir colored me like permanent Sharpie. Not for the dry-erase:

OMG. In 5th grade, I misspelled the word “field” in my school’s spelling bee final and it has haunted me ever since. Crazy.

Love Christopher Cross and I don’t care who hears it. I also appreciate a well-maintained Prius.

Who indeed

Plywood deserves more love

It’s 3AM and I must be lonely

A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
