These books have four-digit numbers in the titles and are very, very good.

some mornings the lake is just right... Saturday was one of those mornings:

Lake Michigan from the shore just before sunrise on January 25, 2025, the clouds providing a streak of orange along the horizon, ice on the surface of the water.

Cooking on a new art project in Pittsburgh. So many amazing humans and artists and writers here. Thankful.

Here's Shishito, who lives with her sister, Poblano, (and sometimes an opossum) under the porch of our building. I feed her every day, but can't invite her in because my partner's allergic. She's perfect.

Seven-digit number (and one year on Thursday… what is time?)
