Trois-Rivières

"We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close are we able to come to that person's essence? We convince our selves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?"

Recession

Dear Economy,

Please recover. I know it may take a little while, and realistically a couple of years, but I need me some work. Any work. Really.

Regards,

Laura

Mother's Day

Happy mother's day.

The graveyard was beautiful, it was unseasonably cold and raining which kept the other visitors at bay. I shot off an entire roll of film while Douglas talked about what life might be like if she hadn't died, what she would think of us now eighteen years later.

He thinks she'd probably wish I was a nurse or something.

The last remaining section of the tree my brother carved his initials into 16 years ago.
