Sing a song

I’m very excited – Ingrid asked me to sing at her wedding! In Puerto Rico! Well, I’ll be singing backup with her sister as Ingrid sings the lead. Pheww, I’d rather sing backup. Last Saturday, I went to my dad’s choir concert – Lutheran Choir of Chicago. It was fun to watch them sing the [...]


Archeworks really works

Archeworks is an alternative design school where students work in multidisciplinary . . . . and so on and so forth. Anyway, I see it as a really cool program open to anyone, any age that wants to help communities. The students are presented with challenges so they work with locals to implement solutions. For [...]


Fried dough-shaped ice cream cone

I think this vegan cleanse has affected me more than I realize. Last night I had a dream that I was swimming in deep, turbulent water and then reached a dock. The sky was dark and stormy. After trying to pull myself up a few times, I finally succeeded. But then all of a sudden [...]


Vegans are friendly

I’ve been doing a vegan cleanse for over two weeks and I’m almost done – I’ll be done this weekend! I can actually feel my own energy vibrating through my body. The cleanse has given me clarity and I’m not talking about goals, etc. (I already know what I want) but everything looks brighter, more [...]


Home again, home again, jiggidy, jig

This photo represents me, for the past five months . . . but with more luggage. Oh, yeah, and a car. This guy was walking along the road, somewhere in New Mexico. Last fall when I left, I really thought I wouldn’t come back. I came back. I had the freedom to move anywhere, but [...]


Bloody vampire

A vampire walked into a coffee shop and ordered a no-frills, straight black coffee. Room for cream? No. He turned, looking around the room. It was packed and the pop rock songs were barely audible above the voices. He sat at a small table in a tight corner by the window and picked up the [...]


Vegan Cleanse

Day three of my vegan cleanse and I think that today I will just eat my fingernails. I’m confused and don’t know what to eat. This vegan cleanse says to not only eliminate animal products but also sugar, gluten, caffeine and alcohol for up to three weeks. Did you know that almost everything (even vegetarian-fake [...]


Tiki lady

This lady cracked me up – she has little light bulbs for her ta tas. It’s so ridiculous it made me laugh. Tanya and I came across her in a Tiki shop in Santa Barbara. I snapped a photo of her when she wasn’t looking . . . a little blurry . . . more [...]


Sucka for a sunset

This was yesterday in Encinitas . . . woweewowee! It was amazing and so cool to be there because there were a group of locals hanging out with their wine . . . watching the view. It would never get old and interesting to see that these people don’t take it for granted. I have [...]


Fishing . . . ahh, errr, umm, napping!

I went to Venice Beach last week to meet up with a friend who used to live in Chicago. We had a nice lunch and then I decided to cruise the pier. It was a gorgeous day and I took beautiful photos of the beach. I walked by this old man and would have thought [...]
