hi

i can't remember my password to my old blog and i couldn't figure out how to retrieve it that well so i created the new yes lets. there will be a few changes . the biggest being i am now allowed to talk about my obsessions. secret obsessions. don't worry, nothing filthy. for example, cars. classic european cars like this bugatti . this one happens to belong to ralph lauren who generously allowed me to use this photo. the ribs that go down the center of the fenders and roof are there because they weren't good at welding alloy metals at the time so instead ..... is this too boring?

matt b. and i are going to the central park concourse d'elegance car show (lord willing) the 29th of this month which will give me a chance to say,"cooooooooool!" over and over again. don't worry about me though, i still think cars are evil polluters destroying the earth. are you familiar with the term cognitive dissonance? i am.

i am also allowed to talk about bicycles. namely utilitarian bikes. like these super fancy Rene Herse porteur bikes were used to deliver bundles of news papers around paris, france.

and this a.n.t. uh, basket bike

Also, i get to talk about guitars, motorcycles etc. i wont be discussing any of my trader joe's bosses or anything like that though.
