At the moment it's pouring rain outside, and is altogether the kind of dark, cold, November day that has seeped into the month to give us a taste of what we're in for.
This past weekend the weather was perfect, and Stephen and I walked along the banks of the Hudson where we admired a tree that seems to embody the idea that great beauty can sometimes arise through great challenges. I'm not sure the same can be said of human life, but it seems like an idea worth considering, at least as we head into the depths of fall and winter, whether the seasons are literal or something less than literal.

Fiction: The Metropolis Case
'It’s to the credit of Matthew Gallaway’s enchanting, often funny first novel that it doesn’t require a corresponding degree of obsession from readers, but may leave them similarly transported: the book is so well written — there’s hardly a lazy sentence here — and filled with such memorable lead and supporting players that it quickly absorbs you into its worlds.

A Note On The Archives
- I started this blog on March 26, 2009 and somewhat miraculously (given the technical difficulties) managed to import a selection of posts from my old blog. If you happen to discover anything zany while exploring -- i.e., bad links, crazy fonts and so on -- please let me know (<3 u)!
