Ooh, thank you Misako! Happy New Year to you too. The writers retreat was like a magical experience for my wife and I.

I’ve truly enjoyed learning about art history from your blog. It took me a long time to realize how much I missed not taking art history classes in college. 🙏

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

I also bought it some time ago, and read the first eight chapters. It’s haunting to read, but I should persevere because it does seem to reflect what’s been going on now.

All of our meals prepared by an incredible chef, making for some fun times. The House had several places to sit quietly and write, incl. a desk (two in our room) of your own, fireside sofas and comfy chairs, and outdoor patios. Quite honestly, I am transformed and am ready to write! #writing 2/2

Good article, congrats. I’m currently reading Vertigo: The Rise and Fall of Weimar Germany, written by a German cultural journalist (& transl to Eng). Full of cultural clashes betw supporters of the nascent Republic and supporters of the rightist groups and a return to monarchy.
