Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 99…
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas [...]

A painter, sculptor, photographer, poet…

2, Oct 2009

We visited the new modern wing of The Art Institute of Chicago today. It’s an excellent addition to an already astounding collection of fine art. Adam and I were particularly taken with the Cy Twombly exhibit. Twombly was born in 1928, and this exhibit, called The Natural World, includes work from 2000-2007. It’s beautifully [...]

Ira Glass on the dangers of good taste

30, Sep 2009

though as for that, the [...]

City of Endless Hunger

23, Aug 2006

Goodnight to you,
City of Endless Hunger.
You’re on the prowl, of course,
how could you sleep
with that aching, endless searching of yours
to contend with?
City of Endless Hunger,
you are restless tonight, like all other nights,
your veins and arteries
coursing with steel, and noise,
and light.
O your lights-
with your thousands, maybe millions of miles of neon
it seems you want
