by the notion of her eye



any kid who has two parents who are interested in him and has a houseful of books isn't poor.
sam levenson (1911 - 1980) u.s. humorist, author

i don't tend to lose faith, at least not for long. i believe in happy endings.
in august, and in september, i was GRIPPED by misery. it faded. it didn't disappear, but it faded.
my daughter, though, is despairing ever-so-slightly. she's trying to sell off the less memorable of her chick-lit books - shortage of funds, y'see.
perhaps you crave a little literary fluff for these cold winter nights?
and take a look at her new photo site while you're at it. she's a natural.

    Your daughter has a nice site! Makes you wonder whether photography is hereditary. The books are not entirely my cup of tea though...

    You capture the most wonderful things in photos - so many things that most people wouldn't even notice. Or things that wouldn't normally stand out, you make them look extraordinary!
    And you know, at the end of the day, I really do believe in happy endings, too. :)
    And a good cure for misery is a quick trip abroad to see friends. :) One week!

    like fading candles in the quiet gloom, you replace them with fresh ones and they look so bright again.
    Love your daughters site (although I don't think her books are suitable for me ;-)

    you always find the most interesting graffiti.
    i think photography is hereditary, and it's also a highly contagious disease--i'd gotten the bug from several people, and passed it on to several more. :)

    You have the view for beautiful and interesting captures which are always covering to your short stories. Therefore I like your site so much. Very nice shot.

    I have enjoyed my visit at Mariekes' site. Admired her creative outlets! Everyone who is concerned with some kind of art encounters highs and lows. I hope it'll fade away completely Lynn.
    Sorry but Mariekes' literature is not really mine or my sons'.
    I love your Amsterdam views and the meaning of them!

    The Levenson quote is a gem. Purging the collected works of school texts was a difficult experience. So difficult that now, they are in boxes in my basement, waging a losing battle against dampness.
    In some ways, letting go of textbooks is a brave thing.
    (Your daughter's site is lovely.)
