Frank Gehry's designs were always whimsical and imaginative but a nightmare to build. Oftentimes engineers had to solve support issues as they were building resulting in imaginative solutions which are beautiful in their own right.

This song resulted in an epic dance break in the car on the way to the gym this morning. I gift it to you in case you too are in need of a Thursday dance break. 😘

This is what lime rendered brick looks like. It's gorgeous and the lime works WITH the brick to move moisture; the brick can breathe. Acrylic paint is basically a plastic coating that seals moisture into the brick and will eventually destroy it. My neighbor is painting his brick and I'm dying inside

STOP PAINTING YOUR DAMN BRICK!!!!!!! You will make a maintenance-free exterior into an exterior that will require significant maintenance. Brick is not intended to be sealed behind an acrylic layer of paint, it needs to breathe. Paint cannot create a perfect seal, it will degrade over time.

If the sight of a state of the art HVAC system makes you feel all warm and tingly inside, you're my kind of weird 😉

This song is about gently letting go of a love; originally written about a loved one passing away. But to me it carries a slightly different meaning of letting go of a loved one because I need to, but doing so in a tender and respectful way. It's a beautiful song. 💜

Every once in awhile you can pinpoint a moment that changed everything. 8/6/22, I photographed every detail of this architectural marvel. I truly loved architecture and wished I could be an architect. And then, for the first time asked myself, why not?

I am devastated to learn that Nebraska will be used to house ICE detainees in multiple locations. It breaks my heart that Nebraska will play any part in his hateful immigrant deportations. I'm hoping this serves as a wakeup call to Nebraskans; this is not who we are.

And then this song starts playing when I'm in my daughter's room helping her pack for moving into the dorm this week. Who's running my life's soundtrack right now?!?! She immediately clocked what song it was and came over to hug me and I lost it. 🥹

I hadn't heard this song in several years and yet it was in my head when I woke up. It came at a time when I really needed it, a reminder to keep going even when it's scary and difficult. So thank you to the universe, higher-self, guardian angel, or whoever was looking out for me 💜
