How I See the World

As a professional writer, this is how I see the world, each and every day, for better or worse. (Thanks to Tim for this find.)

Just About

This is just about my favorite portrait in the $2 Portrait Project.



This is Terry. Homeless. Kind of quiet, but with a certain glimmer in his eye.

Fremont Street is a fascinating place. There is this collision of so many faces and cultures and plights and agendas. I absolutely love it.

There are certainly sad moments, like the time I spent with Terry. I'm not sure what to do to help.

But there are many, many happy moments, too. Just like life. Well, life with craps tables nearby. Which there should always be, by the way.

Animal Minds

Jen gave me a National Geographic the other night, even though she knows I don't read. The cover had an image of a border collie, my favorite animal of all time (maybe even besting dolphins on certain days). The article is online, so now you get to read it, too. It's fascinating!
