robBrooklyn's Profile

We love playfighting with swords and, as a formerly certified actor-combatant, I bring stage combat rules to the battle. Instead of nannying obsessively, it is definitely possible to teach safe ways of having fun sword fights.

Thanks so much for the post!
We're working on a book and have other Lunch Post ideas gestating, too.

There are some excellent contemporary artists reviving portraiture, like my favorite, Matt Held

I think there's a big difference between the dorm-room vibe of cheap paper lanterns and the Noguchi Akari originals. We have three of them, asymmetric forms, rich tones in the paper and sweet warm light, hanging in a row in our hall. Love em. And nothing KeepCalmAndCarryOn ish bout em.
