Stair Porn, Obama, and the Road We've Traveled
If there's any porn i love, it's definitely stair porn.

My, have we come along way.

November 1912. Providence, Rhode Island. "Girls 6, 9 and 11 years old, working on chain-bags in home of Mrs. Antonio Caruso, 132 Knight Street." Imaged from a glass negative taken by Lewis Wickes Hine.

RIP.
A good friend of the family died on friday. I hadn't seen him for a couple of years, but he was very sick and couldn't make the trip from Mexico, to Miami where his sons live, to here anymore.
I'll never forget the time we stayed at his amazing house in Mexico for a week or so when i was about 6 years old. I'll also never forget the experience i had there with his wife...who had been deceased for some time before that. One morning while we were staying there, my mom went down to breakfast and told Pepe of the lady she had seen staring curiously at me lying in bed between my parents during the night. Pepe showed us a picture of his late wife and it was the lady my mother had seen. It turns out, it was the birthday of one of her sons- and that was his old bedroom. We figured she had come back to see him on his special day, but was confused when she saw a little girl in the place where her little son should be sleeping. She had died when they were younger- at the time my mother had seen her, they were in their early 20's or so.
Pepe was an amazing pianist and i was just learning. He encouraged and inspired me to do better- mostly by embarrasing me when he came for visits by asking me to play a new piece a had learned, but i had really been slacking a little.
He was a good man who lived a great, full life and i admire his accomplishments.
I have, with me right now, the sheet music to Clair De Lune.
This one's for you, Pepe.

20 Things I've Stolen
Ok, i really love this. It makes you think twice about what 'stealing' really is.
From Joho; The Blog!
20 Things I've Stolen
1. I took an extra napkin from a Taco Bell for unspecified use “later.”
2. I sat on a bench on a hot day, enjoying the breeze as the man next to me fanned himself.
3. I read the headlines of a newspaper that was for sale in a kiosk box.
4. I divided a single-serving DingDong in two, and had it for dessert on two consecutive days.
5. I listened all the way through to a Metallica song emanating from my neighbor’s radio, but closed my window when the commercial came on.
6. I remembered the movie times in my newspaper from the day before so I wouldn’t have to buy a copy of the paper today.
7. When a friend’s cat chose my lap to sit in, I petted it, precisely to discourage it from moving to the lap of its rightful owner.
8. I said “What a long, strange trip it’s been” without air quotes.
9. On the Amtrak “quiet car,” I listened to a man in the seat ahead of me explaining to the bored woman next to him how he gets such a great shine on his shoes. I have since used his technique, successfully.
10. I have stared carefully at reproductions of great paintings.
11. I asked for and received a “tasting spoon” of mint pistachio ice cream, anticipating, correctly, that I would not like it.
12. I smelled the aromatherapy candles through their wrappings at the Stop ‘n’ Shop.
13. Frequently have I browsed stores with absolutely no intent to purchase. On some such occasions, I have felt fabrics I did not intend to buy.
14. I placed a bag on the seat next to me on the subway.
15. I continued to wear in public running shoes after the Nike “swoosh” wore off.
16. In a Italian restaurant, I entered their “win a free lunch” contest by putting into the jar a business card from a job I had recently left, with my new phone number written in by hand.
17. I have retold the joke about the man who meets a pirate in a bar without ever once explicitly acknowledging that I was not its author.
18. I gazed with lust at another man’s bikini-clad wife.
19. I deeply inhaled the smell of popcorn in a movie theater, but I did not buy any.
20. One late summer evening, I purposefully and with intent committed to memory the purple of the clouds. That I still remember the edge of the chill was unpremeditated, however.
I believe i shall attempt my own sinner's list.
