A close up detail of some of the marble and inlay at the Amber Fort. This is a common theme in architecture from Jaipur and Agra. The details are stunning when you see it at scale.

This is another typical street scene in Jaipur. People selling fruits and vegetables along the side of the road. It was an orgy of color and hard to resist eating!

Who Should I Vote For?

I have been listening to the pure bull pucky of the Republican presidential candidates and combining this with the things I sincerely dislike about the the Progressives and the pretend Democrat Obama and this has resulted in two sentiments.

First, anyone who compromises their speech for the sake of electability is traitor to his or [...]

Crinoid Hitchhikers

Yesterday was a stay home and work on aquaDRAMA day. I replaced one of the current regulators, cleaned out a few things, tested all the pumps, installed a doser and did other general maintenance. When I was all done it was late and the lighting was turned off. I took a peak in the tank [...]

Kushner’s “The Guide”

For those who do not know me, I will start with a little background. I am not generally a theater person. I tend to like serious plays when I do go. To actively go, something has to catch my attention. I do know who Kushner, Mamet and Stoppard are. However, I deem knowing who these [...]

Dream Driving

Previously mentioned, I have incredibly vivid and episodic dreams that are much akin to movies. Sometimes I wake up thankful it was only a dream.

In this episode: Things that were sitting next to me in the car move to the back seat, suddenly onto the roadside and then into the rear view mirror. Each [...]

Ferðast um Ísland

A little bit of a change in plans, well change in life plans, really, led to Chris and me heading to Iceland for a few days last week. Here are a few of the best snapshots from the short trip. Iceland is simply amazing. There is no way else to describe it. The simple, empty, [...]

Observation, Wisdom & Empathy

There is a seemingly natural evolution of a human spirit that is outlined in all kinds of philosophical and theological literature: as the human evolves to higher levels internally, the more love, compassion, empathy and lovingkindness he or she can exhibit in all aspects of life.

Kennedy quoting Luke: “For of those to whom much [...]

New York City Through the Fog

Metaphors for my life abound and some are found right on the roof.

Notice the missing cityscape? Yes, it is gone in the fog.

This is Pain

There is a pain in my chest left over from the wrenching free from it’s well established foothold a tree that you and I planted together.

A tree that took seed two years ago and withered under the harsh light of a criticality which both of us carry in our back pockets.

A tree that [...]

I remember…you

I remember the love that made me feel like I was floating on air when I looked into your eyes.

I remember the love I felt when you brushed your feet against mine under the covers as we curled up for bed.

I remember the thought that I could do this for a million nights [...]

The Curse of Northern California

It has been a funny last couple weeks, since another New Year’s Eve turned out to be a bust – I swear, I do not have good luck when it comes to NYE. I have been thinking about California in my life and it really isn’t good. The state seems to be fought with land [...]

Magic Makes the Rules Obsolete

It was the start of 2009. I had managed to sell my house in Hoboken in an incredible down market for a serious multiple above what I paid for it, I managed to bargain down the new place to a reasonable cost, I had an exit strategy from a stagnant job and was in the [...]

Crinoid Update – Growing & Regenerating

My crinoid dropped the tips of some of its arms. Which I read is pretty normal. I watched with curiosity to see if this trend would reverse. It has! There are new growth coming out of each of the arms that dropped tips. I have been watching this creature through my magnifying glass each day. [...]

Passing Along Domains

A pause for a moment with the release of 2 of my oldest domain names; trephination.com and freshmilk.com. I registered them both in the mid 90′s while I was at Columbia University. As the number of domains I had grew, I decided to allow the ones that I didn’t really use any more to expire. [...]
