Freedom again. When I left California then only really tough moment for me was selling my car. I walked away (2 days from the move) and started crying. Oddly as much as I’ve loved being a pedestrian for the first time in my life, driving with the top down through the Catskills this weekend with the new car reminded me that there are some ideas of freedom bred into me by 20 years in California that I can’t shrug off.

Not too long ago I was in the National Gallery in Washington where I happened apon the Rothko gallery where Morton Feldmans Rothko Chapel was plaingbinnthe background. The piece was inspired by and played in the Rothko chapel. It’s deep, moody and haunting and absolutely evokes the work. We’ve been playing it all week-end on this broad and moody farm in the Catskills and I’m now quite certain I won’t think of upstate without being haunted by this piece.
