This weeks addict blogs at No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane, where she wrote what’s below under the title “floating thoughts:” I find that, everyday, things are floating in my head. At any given moment, there are a myriad of thoughts, revelations and epiphany’s that ping back and forth and I’m almost certain that I won’t [...]
I’m more of a Yankees fan myself, but here’s a neat story about a man who captures moments from Mets games in wonderful watercolor sketches: Turning Woeful Mets Into Works of Art – WSJ.com. Every morning during baseball season around 6:15 a.m., after driving to Midtown from Manalapan, N.J., Petruccio takes a cup of coffee [...]
Here’s another entry in the modular notebook field, the X17 Notebook, which was kindly sent to me for review by the German manufacturer.
