Great afternoon of poker yesterday, and even though I ended the game down, it was worth it for the companionship and home made pizza. On the airtrain to JFK now to ship out to London for a bit. Next post comes from across the drink. Tags: friends, poker, travel… Continue Reading

Why do you need to know that?
Finishing up on various job tasks in anticipation of my trip to London. Today I had a discussion with the the Graduate Committee that supports the MFA program I work in, talking about the past year and our upcoming strategies. Later on I went to see the latest work from my friend Marc Swanson, who’s… Continue Reading
Back to back
I’m in the Village, at The Roasting Plant, refueling my aching calves. I got down here via The Whitney Museum, where I stopped in to visit a piece of mine that is currently on view. It’s an odd experience, seeing something I made twenty years ago with a guard standing nearby and surrounded by other… Continue Reading
From the air…
Heading back. Much of my mind is still in the gallery, thinking about how things went together. Hard to know when to stop. more than anything else, I feel grateful for the chance to work this way, grateful for the ability and opportunity to change something publicly.

It was the sort of experience where minutes after you were finished, you felt slightly cheated, which means that… Continue Reading
Tired of Dusty Pepper…
Human society is wonderful. Somewhere there is a machine designed to separate black pepper from any attendant dust. If we can conquer a problem like that, what is there that we cannot fix? It’s chilly outside the office and inside the office today. Mid October after all and the skies are lowering, the daylight draw… Continue Reading
The calm after the storm.
A lovely walk with The Princess through a sparkling Brooklyn on Monday, capped by breakfast with some other pals at Tom’s Restaurant. I squeezed in a little drawing in the afternoon, forgetting that I had made a date in Manhattan for dinner. Luckily, it wasn’t an impossible loss, and once I hustled my way over… Continue Reading
