Began to Live...
I live here:




I really love living here. The building has so much character and history; it's been here for almost 90 years.

Sometimes I think about all the people who have lived in this specific apartment over those 90 years. What were they like, where did they move on to? I look at the little things in the apartment: the hooks in the closet, the basin-style kitchen sink. Things I interact with daily and mundanely. Dozens of others have done the same. Someone back in 1920 admired this same bathroom tile floor, soaked dishes in the annoyingly shallow sink. These rooms have seen so much, been home to so many. I love being a part of that story, adding my name to the list of those who have lived in #103. I feel connected to people that I've never met, many of whom are no longer with us.

That's pretty cool, yeah?

It's very cool, agreed!
I go through the same thought practice at Dana, and with such a volume of people just at the present, it's quite overwhelming. This is a fruitful line of thinking, in my opinion. It teaches one quite a bit.

I don't work this coming sunday and am off by 5pm on saturday. Care to make some terrible music, if your schedule allows?
