iphotophilly: Elixr Coffee: Year One Today marks the one year anniversary of Elixr! I go on about this coffee shop a lot but it’s not without reason. Check them out in the action in the above video. Each Philly coffee shop has their own preferred method of brewing hand poured coffees and Elixr is known for the Chemex. The first time I had a cup of coffee prepared with this method I felt like I...

Craft-town, U.S.A.
I sewed mad curtains tonight, you guys. I had to learn how to wind the bobbin, change the needle to the proper weight for velvet — I feel very accomplished. I just wanted to share that, perhaps soon I will share a photo of the curtains in their home at Odd Fellows and gloat over my skillz.

John Steinbeck on Falling in Love: A 1958 Letter... →
youmightfindyourself: New York November 10, 1958 Dear Thom: We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers. First — if you are in love — that’s a good thing — that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you. Second — There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean,...

Driving to Virginia
There is a lot of rain. It could be snow though, and I’m very glad that it’s not. I am awaiting my chariot, the Big Medicine, the Great White Buffalo of conversion vans — good god, it just occurred to me that the van’s name is wildly appropriative. I will have to call it something else in my head from now on. But at any rate, we’re off to Harrisonburg for one night of...
