Balcony Garden
All edible: nasturtiums, two kinds of sage, tomatoes (gift from @bubbva), parsley, bell pepper, serrano pepper, rosemary, thyme basil and (in front) variegated pineapple mint from Jeffrey and John – and it really does smell like pineapple! Will have to experiment making some tropical drinks with that. Let’s see, I have cachaça and mango juice…

Portraits by Ross
Ross is so good at photography she even manages to get pictures I like of me.

Woodstock School Memories: The Student Survival Kit
This was the first manual/user guide I ever wrote, a student handbook for Woodstock School, incorporating the school’s rules and policies, survival tips, a fill-in class schedule and diary pages. I wanted to make the rules easier to understand, and more accessible, by applying simpler, clearer language and a sense of humor. Apparently it worked. I heard from students who worked on revisions 20+ years later that my style was still the template for student handbooks at Woodstock.
Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to get the pages in order in this gallery.
The cartoon illustrations are mostly by my classmate, Jeet Singh.
Reading Material
I came home to two different packages from Amazon. The books on the left are a gift from Sarah G. (thank you!) and will doubtless be great fun. The ones on the right… well, I’m still doing research on love, relationships, marriage, etc.
