Hail
This afternoon I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to get out on my bike. It didn’t look like rain. But once I left Alameda Park, 6 miles north of here, there was THUNDER! LIGHTENING! And the rain started coming down. Then it started HAILING! I couldn’t believe it. I rode through the hail for a mile before I came to the tunnel under Paseo del Norte, and hung out there for 20 minutes listening to NPR. The rain and hail gradually stopped and I made it home, giddy with excitement.
Monsoon Season
It’s monsoon season. We have hot sunny days – and then around 4:30 it starts getting cloudy and the rains come. At 7:00, it clears up again.
In the Mail
Deb loves to make books. Here are two she folded for me to write or draw in! They’re both made out of one piece of paper, folded. The one on top is a Turkish Map fold, and you can watch how it’s done here. The one on the bottom is a Petal Book!

Lyrics
It’s a shoe.
It’s totally organic.
It’s a boat.
And that’s organic, too.
It’s dessert.
It’s totally organic.
It’s a hat.
And that’s organic, too.

I work for an art gallery in San Francisco called FOG. This video will show you one reason why I love it so much.

Song #3
wow, no thank you.
I’m reading this book, wow, no thank you. by Samantha Irby and enjoying it so much. “The exposure of your deepest self … is what real writing demands.” This book is brave like that, but funny as well! I love the title itself so much that I wrote a little song:

Lurking in my iPad
I am still working for a gallery in San Francisco called FOG, and one of my favorite jobs is designing the posters each month.

I love making books, cards, ‘zines out of a single sheet of folded paper (no staples)! Here’s how.
Packaging
I was strong-armed into going to a neighborhood farm this morning. They were having their own farmers’ market. All of the chickens I met were named after NPR announcers. Left to right: Rachel Martin, Melissa Block, Terri Gross, Nancy Wilson, Michel Martin.
New Sneakers
An emergency package from my publisher, who knows my favorite food group when she sees it.
