Taliesin Inspiration
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West
When I was about ten years old I was taken by a family friend to a Frank Lloyd Wright building in California. Something happened to me inside that building. I had a sense even at that age that I was seeing something that was uncommon and later realized that what I saw soared with creativity and yet grounded its occupant in a clear and present sense. It represented a balance that I still feel today when I am in or near a Wright building. It also made me understand the very real impact good design has in our life. I grew up knowing that I could truly create my personal environment and in turn use it to inspire me in other ways as well as just simply enjoy it.

When in Mexico
I spent the weekend in a small town called Empalme on the western coast of Mexico. I was treated to the good graces of a fine family. As I had plenty of dirty laundry in tow the opportunity to get it done was great. When I was very young I remember my Mother hanging the clothes up to dry as I played in the laundry basket and ran through billowing sheets. The ever present powerful sun and the sea breezes of Empalme quickly dried my clothes and left them fresh and somehow a little more special. Viva Mexico!
