if something does go wrong, here is my advice... KEEP CALM and CARRY ON.

I like the brooding man - a brooding man with a sense of humor.

My workspace is defined by books, ephemera, quiet and light. I don't have a computer, telephone or a fax machine there.

Go out and walk. That is the glory of life.

My sister is an artist and an interior designer. She went to high school for art. I went to high school for music.

On my desk, I always have a lemon or a lime drying. I love the fragrance. Also, a Staedtler eraser, a brush for the eraser and a pencil sharpener.

Michael Pollan is a champion. In all ways. A man of great integrity, humor, and common sense and kindness.
