thanks

There are so many thanks to give

to our families in Miami, California, Venezuela, New York, Peru and elsewhere--les queremos mucho we love you so much and are so grateful that you are there to love and support us

for our good health

for the abundance we enjoy (including working refrigeration)

to our friends that share so much with us (ideas like putting vicks vapor rub on Marcello's feet so he breathes easily with his cold)

for those in our lives who have taught us--our fellow critics pushing us in the right ways

to those who advocate for justice, equality, freedom and struggle against war and neglect

to artists who inspire with social action and by making our world more astonishingly beautiful

for our educations that have allowed us at times to find and make meaningful work

for the lessons of creative discovery we are learning from and with Marcello

for the beautiful environment we live in with so many trees and greenspace

for the close proximity of NYC and Brooklyn with all kinds of culture

for the conversations and support of one another during trying times

for Mayan Chocolate Haagen Dazs ice cream
