Great Discontent Interview

An old conversation that fills in the blanks of my career and whatnot in an interview format. My tip of the hat to Ryan and Tina for the moment.

Daylily and Lamb’s Ear

I've had the same cheap plates for 15 years — many have broken, the remaining are chipped. I'm always on the lookout for what might be next. Not sure I can rock orange and green dishes, but gosh these numbers from East Fork Pottery sure are pretty.

Debris collected in the cellophane of cigarette packs

My name’s Chris, this is Edie, and this is a place where I put stuff. In my spare time, I devise schemes to create more spare time. My goal with all this is to remember things, but also try and understand the patterns of life.
