Sometimes I try to make certain email messages last as long as possible by reading them methodically—slowly, stopping after each sentence, reading the words again before moving on. I do this for both happy and not-so happy emails, patiently dragging them out into order to fully absorb them, like eating crumbs instead of taking whole bites. Afterward I read the message a second time, in its entirety, with the diffidence of a Big Gulp soda.

This weekend I became a blonde again. It's weird how easily one can cheat genetics.

FROM THE ARCHIVES:  
People We Like. I've got a new photo in The Morning News: the co-owners of Frank White, an unusual coffee shop in my neighborhood. — 07.17.08 Charles Atlas will make a man of you! "Against Atlas' better judgment, I declined performing all of my exercises in the nude." (accompanying shirtless photo of the author taken by me.) — 07.17.08 Cat on a Leash. I am totally buying a leash for Coleman asap. — 06.25.08 The Brooklynites. Great photos of a wide range of people from my favorite borough. (Thanks to Kurt [a talented photographer himself] for passing this on.) — 12.19.07 Killer Boob. My childhood (and current!) friend Sarah talks about her experience with breast cancer on her well written and charming blog. She's an American living in Belgium and happens to be one of the best people I know. — 12.19.07 |
