Here we go, again
We are heading out on another trip and as the mood strikes me I will post some updates here.

It only took twenty-four years…
It only took twenty-four years, seven residences, five dogs, and raising one child, but I got Jodi to do a long, two-day bike ride with me.

Wim Wenders’ Closet Picks from The Criterion Collection
The legendary auteur returns to the closet, the first person who has been allowed to visit for a second time, and it is as charming as you would expect it to be. He selects new editions of favorite films like Down by Law and Wanda, talks about Kurosawa’s genius for recreating weather on-screen, and shouts…

Iceland Rettsælis (aka Iceland Clockwise), day 3: Whales and the flies begin
