Newsletter Nº3
What follows is a recall of things we've been doing from home base these past forty days (for those reading in the future – we were all asked to “quarantine” inside, even if we weren’t showing signs of a novel coronavirus). The post-its above are from a brainstorm with Gaby last spring, one sunny afternoon in the West Village. Maybe the time has come to put those ideas in full motion.

Who would have imagined?
Believe it or not, this picture was taken in March 2019, when I was on the way to visit my sister Amy in Boston. She had a cold and I was bringing these for us to wear around her as a joke. Crazy how the world keeps turning, steadily on a track, and yet it can all change in an instant.
