track+field: a November 2025 recap
47Soul and a Florence vinyl, passport forms, a ceramics birthday, a wine bar birthday, a snakes and scorpions birthday, a Wicked birthday, croquetas, and a stack of pancakes
This newsletter incorporates movement and activity (hikes, walks, etc) into my work. I’m a productive and self-disciplined person except when it comes to tasks related to taking care of myself (like exercise, diet, and rest). This log blends the two areas of my life (health + work) and it tracks my time in the field.
The 2024 paid newsletter, Grapevine, a bulleted list of offline things I was exploring, is now collapsed into this monthly dispatch.
I can already tell it’s going to be an intense holiday season in the best (friends in town) and worst (the traffic because everyone’s friends are in town) way. The first week of December is barely over and I’ve spent numerous hours in my car for trips that take less time if I had just walked the whole way. But let’s not get into that yet as this newsletter is about LAST month.
November stayed warm and stuffy to the very end, even when it rained a river and my car learned to swim across Manara’s corniche at one in the morning. I finished the subtitles on my film, got a screening scheduled, and set up its website. I also applied to some local art programs (that are not AFAC). More on that later, if needed.
