Dried out flowers.

Brooklyn brownstones.

I stepped up my music-making hobby this year in many ways. I began taking piano lessons, I got a new acoustic guitar after playing the same one for 20 years, I got an adjustable-height desk for all of my music gear, I got a rack to hold my preamp and patch bay, and I wrote and recorded a song (it’s on Apple Music and Spotify). I’m having so much fun making and playing music.

Emma and I on the Manhattan Bridge during an impromptu day out. We rode Citi Bikes to the bridge’s Manhattan side and walked across to Brooklyn (we meant to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge but we were winging the outing). Then we ate a delicious vegan pizza at Time Out Market.
