In the summer we helped host a couple of benefits for the tree that’s the subject of the below article, the first benefit rained out by hurricane Dennis.
I’d like to note first that the AJC reports that Atlanta is still the city of trees with a canopy that spreads “forever”. What they don’t state [...]

I went to Raw Story to get some news and the way things have been around here I ended up instead reading about Katie McKy’s book, It All Began with a Bean, a story for children about what would happen if everyone farted at once. I visited her website and read Fart Facts hoping [...]

Rexroth’s Daughter of Dharma Bums posted yesterday Memory Lane #17710 on the summer she worked for the parents of a now former sister-in-law, those parents caterers and survivors of Auschwitz. A poignant post.
She mentioned in the post the Tassajara bread book. Back when I didn’t mind cooking, I used the Tassajara bread [...]

It looks different around here, doesn’t it? But I’ve got some tweaking to do. A fair bit of it. Am not settled on the shades of white to gray thing. I’m doing the web equivalent of This Old House while I am trailing tissue paper all over the place. And [...]

Slowly, I’m putting together galleries for 2005 on back. It’s interesting to look at them and watch his skills evolve. I have [...]

If you don’t know how to buy modern furniture, this 1952 Dupont ad will tell you how. I’m curious, but not curious enough to purchase it. Our source for modern furniture is now Ikea, which finally arrived in Atlanta. All our old lamps, collected from various attics, basements and closets of places [...]

If you have a crying need for a Godzilla toy, we highly recommend Gojji Girl. We ordered from Goji Girl last year and were more than pleased with the service. It was fast and came with some fun little perks. I was just thinking of it because H.o.p. frequents the Goji Girl [...]

I never post studio news and I ought to.
Marty’s going to be recording jazz pianist Takana Miyamoto and koto legend Junko Takeo. And that’s exciting.
From elsewhere on the web:
Junko Takeo is one of the most appreciated and talented Koto (Japanese traditional instrument) players in the world. She has been playing this magnificent Japanese instrument [...]
