Afternoon run.

I'm looking forward to spending time with this crew on June 17 at Whiskey Girl Tavern. Free show! Original + beautiful songs!

Repair café. I love this on all the levels -- knowing how things work, truly owning what you own not just buying it, recycling and keeping things out of landfills, pushback.

Broken speaker? Finicky zipper? Anticonsumerist Repair Cafes urge you to fix it instead of pitch it Repair Cafes are part of a new brand of anticonsumerism. The cafes and other efforts try to offer an alternative to mass-produced, disposable goods that have dominated the economy for the last half-century.

Tour diary day 5&6. Back in London. A few wines with Francie at The George, and hours wandering around the British Museum, looking at artifacts and planning trips (inspired by Egyptian, Turkish and Japanese art today). I’m not a fan of the term bucket list. Just plan on living beautifully and do your thing.
