“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”
“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson (on both counts)

I love my friends.
Took a brief jump to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago for work and stayed in a hotel with a room that faced CNN's world headquarters. Felt a little like a grown-up, kind of nerdy Disneyland. You can see the newsroom if you look closely in the first shot.

And Warhol, for good measure.
When a person is clever with words, I like them more. Wit in the medium of art sends me over the moon. I give you Brock Davis. Thanks to photo editor Elissa at J.Crew for finding him for me.

"Reading great literature, it has long been averred, enlarges and improves us as human beings. Brain science shows this claim is truer than we imagined."
