If I see a roll of Bubble Tape, a bag of Haribo Gold-Bears or a pouch of green-apple Big League Chew, I'm eleven again.

My confession: I listen to great music very badly.
Rosecrans Baldwin
I like to find music that shares a rhythm with the sentences I'm working on. And though I'll probably regret saying this, I think some songs actually don't sound too bad when they're played through lousy speakers.

Heads of France lead from a palace, and traditionally they retire to a cloud.
Rosecrans Baldwin
France and America have a long history of mutual loathing and longing. Americans still dream of Paris; Parisians still dream of the America they find in the movies of David Lynch.
Rosecrans Baldwin
Venice, Italy, is one of my favorite cities, a place I've been lucky enough to visit twice.
Rosecrans Baldwin
