That’s Jenn’s painting in its new grey frame, our new grey landing, and a very cool poster/map/Shop + Dine Guide to Lamar Street I nabbed at SXSW2009 (with the lovely Joy Pecknold) on the wall in my grey office. All presented in vertical stripes because they are oh-so-slimming.
If you look closely at the cork board in the center picture (which, by the way, I nabbed years ago from Roommate Katy’s junk pile – She made it herself) there is a picture in the top left-hand corner.
This picture, to be exact:
That’s me on the right, watching with equal parts awe and jealousy as my late PaPa allowed my older brother to clean out his fingernails with his pocket knife. What I was jealous of? Equal parts Attention from PaPa and I WANT TO PLAY WITH THAT KNIFE.
I love that picture. It makes me smile every single day.

I love that picture too! Can you scan it and email it to me? Please?
Also, where is that?
please come to my house. now. shane is out of town and i need to overhaul the bedroom.
i still liked that board i’d made…but its SO heavy, because it used to be a desk top. so i gave up on hauling it around. were we together when that fabric was found?
maybe i’ll do the bedroom tomorrow. katy is tired. my life feels stressful this week.
I think it was best that you didn’t get your hands on that knife
