Ms Mushly, Anna, and me at Mifune, awaiting some news from the hospital up the hill where Anna's dad was in surgery. The news was good!

Seriously.

Larry & Barbara shot this photograph of a Hooded Merganser this weekend at the big Merritt Island Preserve on the Atlantic coast.

On the sidewalk near Bi-Rite, where we picked up our Thanksgiving carry-out.

Walking home down the Great Highway on the eve of Thanksgiving. This walk will always be in my dreams no matter where we go or how long I live.

Winter

It feels like winter, anyway. And it's only 5:15 p.m.

Anne's Opening is Next Saturday

a detail from Anne's painting Elephant Crossing

My friend Anne is showing her work along with another artist, Mamade Kadreebux. The Opening Celebration will be next Saturday, November 12, from 12-6 pm. The show will take place at Anne's gallery, FOG.

That's the original Mimi over there on the right, and these are the stickers I told her mom I would make (how many years ago, Mari?). Mimi, I promise the next batch will include a pony, a unicorn, a Pegasus, and an alicorn.
