“I have doubled back this morning to tell you the one thing I have learned from Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Nadia Murad and Samer Attar and a thousand others: In a moment like this, when our country is in peril, don’t ask the meaning of life. Life is asking, ‘What’s the meaning of you?’” Scott Pelley

I used to wonder what people thought of me when I stopped beside lilacs to spend a few seconds breathing in their beautiful scent. Now I wonder why people don’t stop beneath the branches like me. Are their days so busy they can’t spare a moment? Have they forgotten how fleeting this loveliness is?

Some works-in-progress: spring palette. (April 29, 2026)

A uniquely Buffalo experience to have the fans take over the Canadian anthem perfectly in a game with 2 American teams. I love this town.
