What is making Dave happy today? Dave had a good day at work.

What is Dave’s inspirational thought for the day? Dave recently read the following:

“When you admit you don’t know a thing about what’s coming, you put yourself in a position to do some learning, which is exactly what you need to do. It’s not easy to let go of the illusion of knowing it all, but there is one very peculiar benefit to losing everything and having no chance of getting it back: You learn that you don’t have to know it all.”

On the Beaten Path

After a few months of treading lightly, my sprained foot is finally on the mend. To celebrate, I finally made my way back to Bayshore Boulevard to see the sunrise. I’m still not up for running so I just walked my usual route.

Mother Nature was glad to see me and put on quite a show. Here are some of the sights and sounds:

A Helluva Town

I had a few days in New York last week and made two videos. The first is from Central Park, where I didn’t get very far because it was below freezing. If you’re familiar with the park, you’ll note that all of these locations are south of 65th Street.

The second video is from Little Island, a new public space that juts out into the Hudson River. I’m eager to return when the weather is better.

Life Underground

I’ve written twice before about whimsy — once about Sarasota, and once about Havana — and now I have more whimsy to share. I saw these little figures in the 14th Street/8th Avenue Subway station in New York.

The bronze sculptures are part of a series called “Life Underground” by Tom Otterness. They are delightful.
