a stolen plane photo (Patreon)

...good morning loved ones. 

I thought I'd share this one with y'all $5+ peeps instead of on the realm of social media. I just landed back in NY after a (literally) 30 hour trip to San Francisco to go to an important bar mitzvah (Abe Chabon, the youngest of Michael Chabon and Ayelet Walmans clan...we got married in their living room and Abe was our ring-bearer - we hadda go) and I spent the night two hours south of the city at a TED meeting. we are insane people. but we have a pretty chill-ass baby so it all worked beautifully. 

we all slept on the flights there and back...one early morning flight and one red-eye. this photo was taken by a flight attendant who saw us sleeping and couldn't resist. she showed me the photo and then emailed it. I texted it to john Congleton who said he'd never seen a photo that was so creepy and touching at the same time. 

I wasn't creeped out, I was PSYCHED. 

thanks, delta flight attendant. I owe you one. 

(I, in fact, returned the favor by sending her a picture holding the baby with a giant strawberry in his mouth.)

back in New York now (where there's a BLIZZARD) and about to take a few days of well-earned R&R. then...things. 

I love you all and am, as always, so grateful for your existence and your patronage. to the things.
