The Hammock View

See these two trees in the foreground? Well, that's where the hammock is going. Imagine how that's going to look in the summer.

I also uploaded some new photos for everyone -- right here. The photos are partially a quarterly assessment (interiors!) and partly winter shots.

Parallele 45 Cotes du Rhone

A Tall Pines fave, mentioned as one of the "50 Reasons to Have Actual, Legitimate, Genuine Hope" in the February 2009 issue of GQ. Also mentioned: Five Guys, Amy Sedaris, Marisa Tomei, Vans and ... Demetri Martin?

Anyway, Parallele 45, endorsed by the editors of GQ, as previously seen in "The Wines of Tall Pines."

New Hamburg Station

This is the view from the New Hamburg Metro-North platform -- at night. I snapped this pic last Wednesday evening on the way into the city for an impromptu dinner with my GF, LP.

My 75-minute rail adventure starts here on this deserted country road and ends at the largest train station in the world -- Grand Central Terminal, 42nd Street, New York City. I take great pleasure in this extreme contrast, which often feels like sleight of hand. Sometimes, if I get a good sleep on the train (Pzizz, anyone?), it can feel like teleportation.
