Philosophy For Dummies
On my way through the chaos of the Financial District, headed to the studio, I stumble across a place to quietly contemplate all of our mortality. 
Other times in which I contemplate my mortality are: on the subway, when the subway is somehow suddenly SO BROKEN and I am wasting whole decades waiting for it to arrive, when there are crazy people yelling at me, when there are crazy people yelling at each other.
Questions You Didn’t Know You Needed Answered
Yes, this dog IS basically the size of the entire subway car. And yes he DID continue to look non-stop surprised for the entire 20 minute ride into midtown. 
How To Board A Plane Properly (Big Hint: Don’t Lose Your Photo ID)
Sometimes your driver’s license mysteriously vanishes, and you can only imagine that it is at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, or buried in the sands of SF’s nudist septagenarian biker beach. And then you must approach TSA somewhat in the manner that a lost explorer might approach a pride of giant bear-lions. First use your charm, then use THE POWERS OF DISTRACTION.
me: they’re letting me on the plane anyway?
A: HOW IS THAT?
me: i just started flinging fistfuls of IDs at them
(Juilliard, credit card, metrocard)
like, ID after ID,
then random pieces of paper
receipts, grocery lists, love letters
and they were at first utterly unimpressed
but then they were flattened into submission.
A: I have no words.
me: I am a disaster.
And now I am boarding my plane.

This happened, while listening to the same song on loop for several hours. Good morning, San Francisco. You look good in the morning.
Before.
After.
More Transparent Than Window Glass
me: but you know what anne sexton said
J: I really don’t
me: “beauty is a simple passion / but oh my friends / in the end you will dance the fire dance in iron shoes”
J: Sometimes, in single blinding moments, I feel like I know everything about you
“After Times Of Great Stillness, Come Times Of Great Roadtrips.” – Not Confucius
The morning after 12 hours of sitting in exactly the same position in front of a laptop, and questioning every choice that has lead me to a lifestyle in which 12-hour laptop-related stretches are not uncommon, I was rescued by the inimitable Saito. And thus began a whirlwind road-trip.
