Oh, he is?

Well, Finally. And at long last. I’m headed back to the big bad city no later than Tuesday of this week. My apartment won’t be available until August, but no matter. You, my wonderful friends, showed and outpouring of love and support to my email solicitation looking for places to stay. Thanks, guys. You’re the best. I’ve been gone so long, New York is going to feel like a foreign place. New buildings will have been built, new bars opened and old bars closed. My own building apparently even has a new owner. And everything I’ve missed! Countless opportunities to drink beer, lost forever. I guess we’ll just have to make up for lost time now that I’m going to be back. New York, I’ll never leave you again. What have you guys been doing?

I was just in the Bay Area visiting some family there. My Uncle Bob is an amazing painter, outstanding father figure and model citizen. I made him a website, which included photographing all the work he wanted included. Check it out and then send him fan mail.

Somebody emailed me today saying that this isn’t a photography blog since i never write about or post any photography. Well, you can all just rest assured that when all the other photography bloggers go and jump of the Williamsburg Bridge, I will not be there jumping also.

I was in Detroit last week for a family member’s 80th birthday party, telling various retired people what I do when they would ask. My standard answer became a variation on, “Well, I’m sort of between things right now, but for the past year or so, I’ve been doing political blogging.” This one guy scowled.

“I was just on a trip to Korea, and we had to kick a blogger off and send him home for being a smartass” he said. “Are you a smartass too?”

If you ever find yourself in Sebastopol, Ca. and you need a place to go fall in love, let me make a suggestion. This tiny little town has one resale shop, Aubergine, and I just wandered through there, picked up a couple of tshirts and exchanged smiles will the most adorable girl I think I’ve ever seen. What a serious heartbreak. Not even kidding.

Help me. Leave a bunch of links in the comments. I’m so bored of all the shit in my bookmarks I want to die
