It’s Thursday night, and two weeks ago, Daniel and I and Raul, (Daniel’s brother), sat in a tapas restaurant on Haight Street in San Francisco, California– the beginning of our California adventure, our California vacation –and what a vacation it was! Two weeks ago, Thursday morning, Daniel, Tunas, Nata, and I left the house at [...]
in the winter of 2004/2005, I began baking bread. I lived in Michigan at the time with my parents and my brother, Josh, and bread-baking became my hobby. My mom introduced me to my dad’s old copy of BEARD ON BREAD by James Beard, and I set out to recreate recipe after recipe. Not precisely. [...]

+++++++++++ when we came upon it, it was quietly having lunch in our yard, tearing little creatures apart, eating what’s good, dropping what’s not. nata and camera-eye quickly shooed it away. we had to do it. to see it really fly. to feel the great myth, alive in the wild. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [...]

I started weaving on January 10, 2011, and have been working four days a week at the Mora Valley Spinning Mill slash Tapetes de Lana, learning the art. I have made seven sets [...]
