4 beautiful things I saw in Madison, WI this past weekend. The bouquet was tied to a concrete post found along the misty lakeshore, 5:15 am. I’m so curious who left it there.

One of my most precious and delightful friends, Kara, sent me a beautiful autumnal art care parcel. I can’t wait to write to someone. Who needs more art in their life? I’ll send you a card!

My fabulous kid got a tattoo yesterday of a drawing I made for them when they were 3-years old and very keen on Maisy, a mouse character in a book. Iris’ tattoo looks just like the Maisy on the plate, stubby paws wonky feet and all!

Watching James perform last night, streaming LIVE, from their gig in Detroit! Incredible experience. I was going to miss them on this tour, first time in a decade I couldn’t get to a show. I’m so happy they streamed this concert!!

I’ve figured out that all I need to do is create a dating app where you can only join if you look somewhat, even vaguely, like Gael Garcia Bernal. Or, you are Gael Garcia Bernal.
