03.22.2020 /bad.morning.

I woke up around 6:30 am. The sky was getting lighter through the brown blinds hung on the south side bedroom window. It looked so peaceful peeking through the slats. Pink smeared with grey, the next day arriving. Here it is. The next day. When I let Sonny out, I saw a skim of snow had fallen overnight, covering the ground. It felt like a clouded metaphor. 

A reply in FB this morning from a NC high school friend sorta clarified that metaphor in some way. Donna said, Most all of the cherry trees in Winston-Salem have been replaced with Bradford Pears and, while beautiful when they bloom, they have a pungent, unpleasant odor . . . maybe a sign that beauty is truly only skin deep. Thank you, Donna. 

And maybe truth is only skin deep? At least, the truth being espoused by our government lately? I dunno, huh? Politicians are only saving themselves right now and it feels exceedingly shallow, skin deep and dirty. There is no real leadership on top but plenty of ego and fairytales spinning. Gah. Fk. We are all being rendered helpless for so many reasons, ones I cannot possibly enumerate. I’m not even gonna try. That’s not the point. 

Meanwhile, in my state of MN, I’m gonna take a minute to applaud our Gov Tim Walz. He is in touch with us, speaking hard truths without lip gloss, and working to come up with survival plans and simply—good solid advice for our state going forward. I am sure he is working hard for us.

Meanwhile, I honestly don’t give a shit about the stock market (sorry for those of you who are losing your investments and retirement :((( ) but am very much more concerned about those working in service industries; restaurants, small businesses and retailers, vintage stores, musicians and performers of every kind, daycare workers, delivery drivers and so many more I’m not able to list right now—it’s too enormous, all of us hinged with each other on any working calendar day. Bless all of you. Hang in there... be in touch. I want to hear from you.

OK. Pulling myself together a little more. My personal deal is, I’m away from my children and my 6-month old grandson, Ezra. I don’t know when I’ll see them in person again. Fk. But I am gratefully in place with my amazing husband and that guy makes me laugh every damn day. Like, what would I do without him? We DO have to keep laughing, it’s a Vonnegut thing. I also recommend all of you following Tony Baker on Instagram. If you don’t have Instagram, just GET IT. In addition to my husband, Tony is keeping me afloat all day every day. He’s posting like a maniac. Skiddlety-paps! Thanks to my friend Annie who connected me. 

OK! Pulling myself together even a little more. Today is a Sunday. It helps to talk with anyone who is reading this. It might be a bit warmer today and at some point I will venture out onto the prairie and walk along the river with my trusted companion, Sonny. I’ll probably cry my face off. That will help. 

I’m listening to NPR right now, Michelle Lee in Alexandria, VA—a store owner. She’s on the front lines the same way the medical industry is. Honor them! They are putting themselves at risk, ALL DAY EVERY DAY, to check us out at the register with our provisions and stay as risk free as possible or treat us at the doors of clinics and hospitals. 

I thought about that yesterday as I paid cash for a purchase and felt like I was pouring contagion change into my wallet. Yikes! But, dood had hand sanitizer at the ready and was cleaning his hands after every customer came through. Way to GO! Soooo maybe my wallet isn’t a virus breeding container. Still, when I got home, I washed it. :) We can actually wash cash as well, if we are being uber careful, and soak our change in white vinegar. NOTE: There are more ways to disinfect than buying Clorox Bleach wipes which are utterly unavailable on the shelves. 

For those of you who care at all about cooking, and lately, we all might be, since we are stuck at home (but DO support your local restaurants with curb service take-out if you are WFH and financially able) you might wanna visit BonAppetit vids on YouTube. Super entertaining, instructive and FREE. If you go there and like beans (which are extremely available dried), check out Carla making the perfect pot of beans. I made them last week and they are still in my refrigerator—delivering for quesadillas, soup, cold from the fridge next to kraut, arugula, and cottage cheese (haha... me and my weird small cold plates)—and you can always freeze them in bags or containers. Super delicious and nutritious. Once you click on my BonAppetit link, you can scroll through endless other videos, go into that rabbit hole, calm yourself, trance out. After I finish this post, that’s what I’m gonna do. 

Final note. Friend Alissa wrote me on FB this morning and said this, in regard to cherry blossoms mentioned in my previous post: I just got my mom in touch with her family in Japan today after a long hiatus. and they were like pass this message on to her. which basically translated to the cherry blossoms are in season... (thanking my friend Kevin in Bed Stuy who sent me the link via FB mssngr)

It will be warmer today and—rain is coming. I might just take a walk in the rain with my deep sadness that I am trying to beat back. Thanks for listening, ppl. We all have our own worry and pain and separation from our loved ones. One day we’ll feel okay and the next, annihilated. It’s all good—we have to stay real and let our frustration and sadness be there and hopefully, later, be released. 

Let’s stick together. We have to, right? We do. YES. We do. I’ll be back sooner than you want me to. Hahaha. Gotcha.

It’s official… we’re moving

This announcement has been a long time coming. So it might not come as a surprise to many that we’re moving (temporarily!) to Virginia for a year… or two. 

Todd was recently accepted into an 11-month program so E and I have decided to tag along and experience all that NOVA / DC life has to offer.

I’m sure some of you may have questions… so here are a few of the ones I get asked most frequently.

(Typically the first question I get asked.) What are you going to do for work?

I plan to continue to operate my business here in Hawaii while “working remotely” from Virginia. Hey, we all did it for the last year+. Yes there will be some challenges like the time difference, but I have a team still on island, and plan to come back to visit A LOT (flights are currently just $500 RT). So it’s safe to say that you’ll probably be seeing even more of me than you did in 2020. 

What is Todd doing? 

He got into a school in the area. And no, its not the War College (c’mon I watched Madam Secretary).

What will you be doing with your house?

While I wish we didnt have to, we’ll be renting it out while we are away. I just hope the renters we find are good and care for the home we built as much as we did.

Where will you be living in VA?

We actually have already signed a rental lease on a lovely home in Alexandria. It’s 20 minutes from Todd’s school, 6 minutes from a Trader Joes, 6 minutes from a Chipotle, 20 minutes from Ikea and on and on and on. You can tell what kind of priorities I have. Also, that I might love it so much that I might never come home (JK). 

Do you know anyone who lives there?

Yes, my cousin and her family are actually stationed there (though they’re currently in Hawaii and I dont know if they plan on leaving) and Todd has a friend that lives in DC. If you know of someone who lives there who wants to be my friend… let me know!

  Are your parent’s mad?

Yup. But don’t worry Grandma and Papa, E will be back before you know it! 

Where will E go to school?

He is still only two so he is in daycare but we have already signed him up for a daycare in the area. 

Long story short — this seemed like the perfect time and opportunity to do something we will likely never get to do again. Sure the move is stressing us all out and driving me crazy… but there is lots I’m excited to see and do. The museums. The zoo. The food and breweries. The farmers markets. The road trips we can take (Disney World and Georgia Aquarium HERE I COME). The trip to Europe I have planned (Kat, I hope you’re getting ready for us!). 

If you have recommendations on places to go, things to do, sights to see in Virginia SEND THEM MY WAY. I am starting all the lists to pack as much into what I’m sure at the end of this, will seem like a short time there.

Aloha, Hawaii!

Alexandria, Virginia (Suburban Nation)

After all of these conversations, I had to learn a little more about the suburbs. Sure, I grew up in and rode my bike all over ‘em as kid, studying them with an untrained eye – but I never studied the suburbs beyond their place in US and economic history. I asked some city planners and MIT researchers where to start, and I wound up walking back from the library with an armful of books.

I’ve been reading this great little one called Suburban Nation by Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, and Jeff Speck. The authors are experienced practitioners who strike an irreverent tone; the footnotes are a joy. There’s a passage that contrasts Virginia Beach with Alexandria, VA, a city that was partially designed by a seventeen-year-old George Washington, who was then an assistant to the county surveyor. Alexandria follows six fundamental rules that, according to the authors, “distinguish it from sprawl:”

1. The center. Each neighborhood has a clear center, focused on the common activities of commerce, culture, and governance. This is downtown Alexandria, understood by residents and tourists alike as a unique place to visit and engage in civilized society.

2. The five-minute walk. A local resident is rarely more than a five-minute walk from the ordinary needs of daily life: living, working, and shopping. In the downtown, these three activities may be found in the same building. By living so close to all that they need, Alexandria’s residents can drive much less, if they have to drive at all.

3. The street network. Because the street pattern takes the from of a continuous web—in this case, a grid—numerous paths connect one location to another. Blocks are relatively small, rarely exceeding a quarter mile in perimeter. In contrast to suburbia, where walking routes are scarce and traffic is concentrated on a small number of highways, the traditional network provides the pedestrian and the driver with a choice. This condition is not only more interesting but more useful. A person who lives in Alexandria is able to adjust her path minutely to and from work on a daily basis, to drop off a child at daycare, pick up the dry cleaning, or visit a coffeehouse. If she chooses to drive, she can constantly alter her route—at every intersection if necessary—to avoid heavy traffic.

4. Narrow, versatile streets. Because there are so many streets to accommodate the traffic, each street can be small. Of all the streets pictured [in the downtown segment], only one is more than two lanes wide. This slows down the traffic, as does the parallel parking along the curb, resulting in a street that is pleasant and safe to walk along. This pedestrian-friendly environment is enhanced by wide sidewalks, shade trees, and buildings close to the street. Traditional streets, like all organic systems, are extremely complex, in contrast to the artificial simplicity of sprawl. On Alexandria’s streets, cars drive and park while people walk, enter buildings, meet, converse under trees, and even dine at sidewalk cafés. In Virginia Beach, only one thing happens on the street: cars moving. There is no parallel parking, no pedestrians, and certainly no trees. Like many state departments of transportation, Virginia discourages its state roads from being lined with trees, which are considered dangerous. In fact, they are not called trees at all but FHOs: Fixed and Hazardous Objects.

5. Mixed Use. In contrast to sprawl’s single-use zoning, almost all of downtown Alexandria’s blocks are of mixed use, as are many of the buildings. Despite this complexity, it is not a design free-for-all. All of the above characteristics are the intended consequence of a town plan with carefully prescribed details. There is an essential discipline regarding two factors: the size of the building and its relationship to the street. Large buildings sit in the company of other large buildings, small buildings sit along other small buildings, and so on. This organization is a form of zoning, but buildings are arranged by their physical type more often than by their use. When buildings of different size do adjoin, they still collaborate to define the space on the street, usually by pulling right up against the sidewalk. Parking lots, if any, are hidden at the back. In those rare cases where a building sits back from the sidewalk, it does so in order to create a public plaza or garden, not a parking lot.

6. Special sites for special buildings. Finally, traditional neighborhoods devote unique sites to civic buildings, those structures that represent the collective identity and aspirations of the community. Alexandria’s City Hall sits back from the street on a plaza, the site of a thriving farmers’ market on Sundays. Even within a fairly uniform grid, schools, places of worship, and other civic buildings are located in positions that contribute to their prominence. In this way, the city achieves a physical structure that both manifests and supports its social structure.

I think about these streets and the layout, and I look to Georgetown a little further north of our studied example. I can’t point to a clearly defined “center” —perhaps the university or M Street—but that’s because I’m not so familiar with it. Everything’s within a five-minute walk (except the metro), the street network is a tight grid of mixed uses, and special buildings—like libraries and schools—sit back from the street. I want to study Georgetown and Alexandria more while looking for towns that embody these six fundamentals in Florida and New England.
