We stopped so the train could pass which began a dance over the next several miles. First it went over us, and then we went over it, and finally we traveled side by side, through hills and trees, until our paths diverged.


We set out
and bear witness to a moment.
Silent as the scene before us.


Snow day for the kid as it continues to fall. 6 to 8 inches are expected and I’m sad that I don’t have a window to watch it while I work.


Multiple walks through the trees, feeling thankful to enjoy the snow again. The light is brighter, the world is quieter, and hot drinks are more enjoyable when you come back inside to warm up.


It finally started acting like a proper January! The kid and I filled the yard and front windows with snowmen. ⛄️


A surprise “just because” gift from my awesome cousin: Lego Super Robot


This morning I managed to catch the best part of an amazing sunrise. January is supposed to mean snow but we have seen nothing but rain since Christmas.


Taking advantage of the sun’s appearance and appreciating all the leaves that managed to hold on into the dead of winter.

🧱 Finished building my new office buddy. He was so much fun to construct and I’m amazed how Lego managed to build so much personality into him.


Visited the Museum of Contemporary Design in downtown Detroit. The highlight was the work of Jason Revok. He uses custom tools to create works with his entire body that look mechanical at first glance but have a wonderful human quality.


There’s really only one question that can be answered, Genry, and we already know the answer….The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.


Late this afternoon, the sun made its first appearance after two solid days of cold, foggy rain that should have been snow. As soon as my eyes spotted the warm colors, my body quite literally rushed me out the door and into the light.

It was a short but satisfying walk.
