Today is sunny, and I have my vision back, thanks to my sisters and my brothers, D Vision Optical (on Division St. in Chicago’s Wicker Park), Nuftali, who called the cab, Robert Ford Reynolds, who came to get me and lead me, Helen Keller-style, around, to get my medicine/eyedrops at Walgreen’s, etc. and for a peaceful night on the 91st floor of the Hancock Bldg. with his roomie Bradley & Friends, Polaroids, good lighting, third year law students who are studying for the bar and wear beautiful shoes and are very thoughtful, Everyone at Bin, Dominic at US Vintage #1, the lovely Kyle at Eskell (my tall, beautiful lil’ sis who has a heart of gold and reminds me of Stevie Nicks plus everyone in Almost Famous) — she’ll be a wonderful designer when she finishes school, and I cannot wait to see what she creates — and of course, my sister Alex, who we call Sparz. She’s got a parrot who goes by Zippy.

Small but scrappy. That’s how WE hustle. Click, click, click camera!
