Study of a Teapot

I got this tea-for-one pot in Amsterdam on our recent trip. I played around with it in the evening kitchen light, looking at it from different angles depth of field. Just a reminder that there are many different angles, infinite even, to look at a single object. If that is true, shouldn't it be the same for our lives and our problems?

Nice, Long Day of Nothing

We had no plans for today. Well, at least Brandon and I didn't. And we had a nice, long day of randomness...

I cleaned up my desk and painting area. I put some pictures into frames and rearranged the shelves in the living room. Went for a bike ride in Parco di Monza. Went over to the neighborhood store for some light and cool food items. Cleaned up and consoled Brandon over a broken plate and lost pancakes. Bought some domain names. Charged my camera batteries. Reformatted a hard disk. Learned to play Poptropica from Brandon. Talked with Patrick for a while about life. Made a CD to listen to in the car. Played Mario Cart with Brandon. Read a book.

All the while, enjoying the fact that there was nowhere we needed to be, no timetable, no trips. A nice little break after the travel of two weeks ago and the work craziness of last week.
