A sphere of sun, in nature’s simple grace, With leafy green, a tranquil, quiet place. A hint of luck for the New Year’s cheer, A golden promise, sweet and clear Peel back the skin, a fragrant, zesty art, Juicy segments, a delightful start. A simple pleasure, vibrant and bright, A little burst of pure, delicious light. ~ The Mandarin by AI (I think)

The same publication that published the piece on the White House that we discussed at the last staff meeting also published a takedown of Jane Jacobs’ seminal work “The Death and Life of Great American Cities.” In this humble readers’ opinion, the critique is more about what the author wishes the book was, rather than what the book is , but you can decide for yourself!

This is one of the first churches built in Hawaii – I loved that the form felt like a familiar New England meeting house, but was built out of native volcanic rock.

Not sure if this is widely known, but it was news to me. I just leaned that Don and Dana’s This Old House episodes are on YouTube in its entirety. (links in post)
