To Miss & Not to Miss

Among her many kick-ass writings, Nora Ephron left two lists. One was a list of the things she’d miss and the other the things she wouldn't. 

They inspired me to make lists of my own. 

Here they are as of June 28, 2012 (I assume they will change)

Things I Won’t Miss

Waiting

Trying on clothes

Mosquitoes

Hot flashes

Tech support

Headaches

P.S. People do keep dying. It almost makes a gurl feel like it could happen to anyone. 

P.P.S. Keep breathing!

Things my poppa made

It is Father's Day and I'm thousands of miles from my poppa.

But here are some pictures he painted.
He said he painted because they couldn't afford art for their walls.

Here are some things he built.

He built the harpsichord with his brother, my uncle Hyme. 

First they had to build the tools to build the harpsichord. It took 8 years.  

And here are some people he built.

Here are some people who exist as a result.

The moral of this story is to take more and better photos.
