M called to say that the painters would back on Wednesday. I said candidly, “Is it because you like me that you start a job on Thursday and disappear and then don’t return for almost a week. Is it because you like me you treat me this way?” He said, “It’s because I like you that I started the job when I did, I can’t help it if my painters have to go home to…
Early in my life I took normal jobs – well semi normal – okay, take that back, I’ve not had a normal job except a few times and when those jobs took me into an office and I had to sit behind a desk in some cubicle type arrangement, I have almost swallowed the poison pill.

What a way to start the day!
Look no further, my friend Kim Frohsin has an exhibit coming up that is guaranteed to be worth the trip. Go see her work at the exhibit is on June 5th in Port Chester, NY at Nelson Macker Fine Art!

I was taken aback but told him that Steve had worked Esherick’s office, that had been part of the Sea Ranch project, and so maybe there was a similar aesthetic. In…
I am looking forward to some R&R sometime in the near future. I was reading the media blogosphere and came across this interesting discussion or rant, and I want to salute this guy who wrote this response to working crazy amounts of hours.
