Squirrel Hill, PA

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and communities affected by the Tree of Life Synagogue tragedy. Props to all who attended the vigil Sunday in CCB plaza - while I never thought I would have to recite Mourners Kaddish with Major the Bull, I prayed for the day when we can ban assault weapons in the US and put a dent in these psychotic shootings that leave communities ripped apart. 

Please contribute by being as politically active as you feel comfortable and opposing legislators that work against gun regulation.

Bread is an intensive surface

"The Earth is a body without organs. This body without organs is permeated by unformed, unstable matters, by flows in all directions, by free intensities or nomadic singularities, by mad or transitory particles"

J Gold, Belated Obit

J Gold, the food critic who democratized the nation's palate, RIP. If you haven't seen City of Gold, this is a must-watch for any self-proclaimed foodie. In many ways I think of him in my travels to try every mediocre restaurant in Durham, tingling with those very mixed up feelings of futility, anthropology, discovery, banality, and a requisite amount of anticipatory excitement. May we all be as obsessed with something as Gold was with the cultural landscape of gastronomy.
