The past couple weeks (actually since we moved) Isaac has developed a serious case of separation anxiety. I noticed it Tuesday morning when i tried to leave him at my gyms day care... and there way no way. The minute I put him down, he started screaming. I didn't even leave the room and he was anticipating what was about to happen. I tried to leave twice, and there was no way. Then last night I had our babysitter Emily come over a couple hours before I had to leave for dinner, and Isaac screamed the entire time. As a mother, this tore me apart. What to do? Let him work through it, dont "abandon" him? I dont know the answer. I am workng through it too. I hope in the next little while, Isaac builds the confidence necessary to assert his independent self when Im not around. Hopefully, like all other things, this too is a stage that will pass.

my raybean
My girl, Raylene, from the days at Cal Poly has been a continuous inspiration to me throughout the years. In her eccentric dabblings and love, we have managed to share a closeness that I adore. Her obsession with travel, the city, and any myriad of sensuous things has allowed Raylene to create a world around her that smiles back on her experiments. She is constantly reinventing herself, and finding new ways to define what architecture means to her. In her latest (several years in the making) undertaking, ray ray has created a series of tape drawings on translucent film. It is a narration about her travels through NYC, SF + LONDON. Back lighting makes the pieces come alive. In my last trip to NY, and to her studio, I could only smile. This undertaking is all Raylene. In its quiet beauty and romantic voice, she has managed to light me up. The cumulation?: Her first gallery opening @ Art Engine in San Francisco. If there is anyway i could be there (and trust me I have tried to figure it out), I would go. And for you girl... i would wear bells. And a pink wig. And my heart on my sleeve.dj raybean: congrats! thank you for reminding me of the importance of exploration and rediscovery. You are it my lover of life!
