farewell, raymondo

RIP designer Raymond Waites. Remembering you.This dream you had about you and Scott...magical!

Having just learned that our wonderful friend designer Raymond Waites slipped into Heaven this week, I thought I’d repost this mystical synchronistic day from 10 years ago. It involves giraffes and a pretty magical dream Raymond had about Scott. Maybe this fab art studio is where he and Scott are meeting up even as I type this? dream studio, with giraffes

in scott's footsteps

in scott’s footsteps

Scott Morgan was a film buff. During our Goan odyssey we had several movie dates which offered an escape from the reality of his illness. When Scott learned his beloved niece got accepted into USC film school, he was over-the-moon with excitement for her. Today, I am delighted to share with you Mercedes Morgan’s letter to me about how she recently ended up in Goa retracing some of her uncle’s…

Here is a sampling of the vintage sampler show — A Stitch in Time–currently at Art By Katy Gallery in Stonington, Maine. According to Google: “A needlework sampler is a piece of embroidery or cross–stitching produced as a ‘specimen of achievement’, demonstration or a test of skill in needlework. It often includes the alphabet, figures, motifs, decorative borders and sometimes the name of the person who embroidered it and the date.” These were most likely stitched by island women during the 1930s to 1970s. The collection can be seen July 1-15th (most days noon to 4PM and by chance or appointment).

Scott used to love telling the story of how we met. His great friend Joe Gantz–creator of the hit television series on HBO Taxicab Confessions, among other documentaries–and my friend, Joe’s wife then-blogger/now-novelist Corine Gantz, introduced us. Little did any of us know at the time that these two were setting us up for an incredible journey together.

Corine has taken her own incredible…

Today would have been Loolie’s 13th birthday. The two Rons, my friends in LA,  sent me this poem by Robinson Jeffers. I will read it aloud at Sand Beach when I scatter Loolie’s ashes. I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.

loolie leaves with love

“My Kind! ”  serendipitous discovery on a backroad of Vermont when Loolie was a puppy.

I’ve struggled to put down words to describe Loolie’s last day on The Mothership. It seemed divinely guided and, I believe, Loolie directed me in everything that happened that day. Even in this, she thought she was the alpha. Let me take you on the day’s journey as best I can if you dare to challenge your own…
