After Arkansas I flew to Georgia for a magazine article I'm writing. I have never been to the rural parts of this pretty state of ours but I took a nice long drive with my photographer friend Terry Allen to a place called Pine Hill Plantation.
This is a view from the car window. I believe…
Austin to Lake Village Arkansas to Southwest Georgia to Stamford Connecticut to New York City to Austin. That is where I've been in the past 1.5 weeks.

I took a road trip with my brother from Austin to Arkansas. It's a loooong drive, but we rocked out to music. And stopped for roadside…
These are the peppers from my garden this year. You can call me Peter Piper. Thank you.
Pickled Peppers:
The truth is, that they were planted by my brother's mischievous friend Francesco. But Francesco dropped off the radar screen sometime in mid-summer when the weeds became unruly and it was time to separate the men from…
Do you know what's funny? I'm writing this post from another Southwest airlines flight... but this picture wasn't taken between Colorado and San Francisco, it was taken between Austin and beautiful Oregon. And this one has a creaming baby. {{{Helllppp meeee....}}}

Well, I've spent the past week under boxes. It's not an exaggeration really, since some of the boxes were as big as I am. By the end of it, there was a mountain of boxes in front of my new house. I nice man finally came by yesterday and hauled them all away and the…
I’ve been trying all summer to grow corn. I planted the seeds in two long rows and waited patiently. Out of one hundred or so seeds, about six sprouted. Then a woodchuck came along and helped himself to about half of those. So I went to the gardening store and bought some in containers that…
Another thing about the big garden at Tulipwood is that there were asparagus popping up all over the place this year. They just spontaneously sprouted wherever they pleased... amongst the tomato plants, with the radishes. It was like a game of Where's Waldo?... where would we come across an asparagus next? The reason for all…
