Some friends got married in New Hampshire.

It was a magical event. No, like really magical.

We all looked around and felt loving and loved.

This is not them, but this is the feeling

that was had.

A Mystery In Common



A Mystery In Common makes amazing t-shirts. Tristan Benedict-Hall is behind all the beauty. He also made amazing wedding invites for my brother and sister-in law. He makes many beautiful things and it is fun to wear them.

The above design is called "Stick Together", and there are more for the discovering.

Do Not Underestimate Any of Your Organs


This NYT article on the spleen illuminates an organ long-thought to be relatively irrelevant in western medicine.




A special visit....



Yesterday, Seth Landman, killer poet, whale lover, an overall dynamo, came to visit. He dropped off two incredible treats:

1) The new issue of Invisible Ear (#4)! Wow. From the blue cover, to the poems inside, to the cover art ( a prototype of a design by Seth's father) this magazine is tight.


2) The second chapbook from Invisible Ear's chapbook series: Brian Baldi's Lunar Asparagus. A choice slice of epicurean and asparigusian delight.
