The first week of February in Chicago is…

A cat angry at you for disturbing a warm bed to go to work.

A snow drift beautifully blocking the door.

Being the first person to arrive at the bus stop after a blizzard.

Winter steaming up downtown.

The Universe is a funny thing. Over the last 6 months I have lost teaching income, my website, and I suffered a leg injury which took me out of capoeira and samba (2 activities I loved and was almost on the verge of being “good” at).

Over the last 6 months I have also had amazing people come into my life, with reduced income I have been forced to liberate myself from certain aspects of the (A)rt market, in seeking income I have fallen in love with my camera again, since the injury is taking forever to heal I have acquired a bike named “Cocoa,” and have become brave enough to bike to work.

Who would have thought? A new version of my website should be up over the weekend although I’m taking my sweet time with figuring out the rest.
