Photos & Friends

The red light is flashing several times a second. It is blinding, but I think I’ve gotten used to it over the years. When it doesn’t flash red, it flashes green. Red - green - red - green - red - red - green.

Here’s to old friends. I was thinking tonight of an old friend from Los Angeles. He sent me photos today of he and his wife. I haven’t seen him in person ever since he drove down to San Francisco to live (he later moved to LA). I still have this picture of him in my head from when he was studying at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I took this photo of him at that time. Now he looks … relaxed. Intense but relaxed. Both of them actually. They both look really good — healthy and happy. It’s hard to really know how people are when they’re far away. But pictures and emails and postcards help.

That’s the latest thing I’ve been doing: postcards. I sent out dozens of mix CD’s to announce the relaunch of danielstout.com. I included 2 postcards in each — one with a personal note from me and the other postpaid and with my address filled out. The first responses came within a day or two and now we’re up to about a 85% response rate. Of course it was a selective list that these were sent to.

So anyway, click the above photo from Chris to view.
