Yeah, it really does. She's using this as source material for drawings made with ink/paper.

Why are you in Alfred?

Tell Alfred to put on a sweater.

@ftrain the wife is doing an artist residency at Alfred's Institute for Electronic Arts (working on this: http://mlkshk.com/p/NK9P)

Awesome. I love it there--my alma mater! SO AMAZINGLY COLD IN EVERY WAY ALL WINTER.

I'd put even odds on you being an amazing potter, @ftrain. Were you in the ceramics program here?

But yes, it is amazingly cold! And a really endearing town. We've been spending a lot of time at Cafe Za and Nana's, which I don't think I have equivalents for in NYC.
