New York – November 1974: And Some More

During these visits, a typical day might involve joining Dennis in the early morning to walk Gabrielle to school (kindergarten).  We would walk and/or ride bus or subway until school was over, seeking out bookstores and museums and galleries and libraries.  And grabbing a quick deli lunch.  Then it was a return to the apartment, where Dennis would probably write for the next many hours and I would hit the streets again solo for more exploration and photography.  During the week, Gabrielle’s mom would be at work doing lawyer things, but all of us would go exploring on the weekend, often in Central Park and wherever playgrounds could be found.

rDay Four-Hundred-Sixty-Six: Ivi Calls Home

Late this afternoon, Ivi materialized (sort of) online in a Google Hangout video chat.  She tried to show us around her new Seattle digs (but I was too slow on the trigger to capture very much, especially considering her high rate of movement and expression), and regaled us with tales of her work, her dog-sitting and house-sitting adventures, local travel discoveries, shopping finds, news of our other Seattlites, and much, much more — especially dancing, both western and blues.

Herman, Somewhere

In Scotland, I think.   See correction below:

CORRECTION: Herman himself offers up this information:

This is along the western (southish) coast of Ireland. Look west of Kenmare, the lower finger and we were about near the tip. Sheep farms everywhere, a few cattle and goats. Sheep get out on the road, but they are super curvy, so you aren’t going too fast. I guess the grass looks greener to them as well. They’ve had a lot of rain, so the grass was quite lush. H
