Although I cannot see your face

Honestly who would have thought that we would spend a quarter of a year in physical isolation from each other. A story to recount in my old age.

And speaking of old age. Umberto Eco once wrote that books are the most robust format of content transmission that we have seen over centuries, and so that if nothing else, my sketchbooks would probably survive till my old age at least, and I will look back on these days and laugh…

"Although I cannot see your face 
As you flip these poems awhile
Somewhere from some far off place
I hear you laughing - 
and I smile..."

Happy birthday Nikon

My cousin Nikon and I were born only a few months apart, and when we wish each other on our birthdays, it’s always memorable. When we turned 17, Nikon said:

And now, years later, we collect strategies to deal with our impending old age…

…right down to our future old age home.

So happy long life, Nikon!
