swell dwelling

last weekend we drank a lot!

...of chai from our french press, our new favorite device for all hot beverages!

all this drinking happened while moving jon's things upstairs!

it was fun to have his things and art mingling with my things and art.

we even mingled our mirrors to create a mirror universe!

our things are very happy together!

O-fish-uary

Less than a year ago, I wrote about my adventures with Margot and Richie, Jon's beloved pet goldfish. Margot left us over the summer, but Richie prevailed.

Until this weekend.

Richie was a great fish; charming, loving, with a great appetite for life and a passion for swimming. On the night of January 16th, Richie was made victim of a practical joke played on Jon by one of his friends who thought it would be funny to put Richie in a wine glass and replace him in his bowl with a can of gravy. Richie could not handle the trauma and fell sick, passing early this morning. Richie lived a rich life--he will be missed greatly and honored forever!

warm highlights

the weather outside is frightful!

in miami, iguanas are falling out of the trees because they are going numb.

we were lucky to enjoy a few days of warmth before the big freeze.
