It’s happening. I’m becoming obsessed with Charles Eames.

This doesn’t mean that I’m going to spend $5,000 on a recliner, but I would if I could. For now, I’m going to have to fulfill my Eames need with his words and concepts. Lucky for me, he shared many of both with the world.

I need to take a break from European reflections. I need to write a poem! About waffles.

Waffles waffles in the morning,
Waffles waffles in the night,
Waffles waffles so delicious,
With some butter and some light
(maple syrup.)

Waffles waffles sweet and yummy,
Waffles waffles I’ll be true,
Waffles waffles don’t be hasty,

Waffles waffles let’s do this, yo,
Waffles waffles don’t delay,
Waffles waffles with some flaxseed
Waffles waffles make my day
(punk.)

Ah. That feels better. Thank you.

My flight from Rome was delayed coming home, so I missed my connection in Montreal.

Then my flight from Montreal to Chicago was delayed, so I didn’t get home until midnight. With the time difference and the full day of travel and peanut air, I felt slightly like an alien life form by the time I actually found my bed. To make matters more surreal, I knew I only had six hours to sleep. This was because my sister and her new beau Jacques had decided to caravan up to Door County in the morning. WiWi was waiting and I figured … Read entire post
