my brother (see unintentional (?) arty self-portrait above) Thomas and i share another obsession…an endless pit of admiration and patience for the classic VW Beetle. while in the Door with Mom he took over responsibility for Aunt MaryGrace's blue 70's convertible (undriven for how many years? and why? something about stick shift? what?!) no trouble…

my maternal grandfather built this earth-berm concrete dome house in the late 70's, just down the road from the original cottage (a beloved mid-century classic itself) he and the family built some twenty-five years earlier. my brother Thomas and I are both enamored of it (he blogs about it here) and have visions of bringing…

just got word late this afternoon about the major blackout in Canada and the Eastern seaboard of the US,…from where mom is due to take a flight to Maine today! no word yet if she had trouble, but i'm assuming that at the very least she was delayed if the reports of airport backups are…
