Things that make me go hmmm...

A few times in my life , I've had moments of absolute clarity
When for few, brief seconds, the silence drowns out the noise
and i can feel... rather than think.
when things seem so sharp.
and the world seems so fresh.
it's as though it had all just come into existence.

I can never make these moments last...
I cling to them, but like everything, they fade.
I've lived my life on these moments.
They pull me back to the present.
And I realize that everything...
is exactly the way it's meant to be.

Quote from the movie: A Single Man

Love this space... especially the white floors

I would like a wall of firewood so my fires can last past 11:00

This would be perfect for people who have no room for a bedside table

Geninne's new art studio has a great view

Vacation - Day 5

Uh, oh... it's closer to the end of vacation then it is to the beginning. Better make the next 4 days worth it! Today was fantastic... besides getting an omelette w/mushrooms *and* tomatoes in it, two things I don't particularly like, later I also ordered something different then my usual dish at the Mexican restaurant! CRAZY! Heh. Plus, there was a field trip to the Cleveland Botanical Garden:
