Connecting thread

This post started out with the overall title "Multipost" because I felt these three topics were so different. But, as you can see, I found that they really do have some invisible connecting thread. An idea that sort of exists at the heart of each one. An idea that's not easily expressed.

The House Sleeps

This is the beginning of a series I'm starting about houses that sleep. It's an idea very close to me and I hope it doesn't get stolen. The essential premise is to go from neighborhood to neighborhood and ask the local kids and maybe other residents about which house near them is that house. The one that just feels haunted or otherwise wrong. And maybe 'wrong' isn't the right word. Perhaps sleeping is a more apt word.







Post Party

I recently attended a party. This is how I feel when everything winds down at 4 in the morning and everyone is either asleep or engaged in quiet conversation. It's actually sometimes the best part of any party.




Our Town

I drive a lot now. It's an expensive habit. But the city is so beautiful at night. This town is my home and it has worked its way into my heart such that I never expected. Friends pack up and move out of town or fall ever deeper into the folds of a job or school here and I find myself thinking that this town will be at the heart of everything we do with our lives. It all comes back to what we did and how we were shaped by our town.
