Some choices have to be made.

Keeping your options open is a good idea.

Yet, at times without choosing one thing over another, progress cannot be made.

The good news is that options usually still exist, choices are not closed off just because you decided on the road to take.

The other roads, they never go away.

It must be all right.

First light. The moment of day.

Seen from near or afar.

You can walk out and feel fit.

Line of sight.

Scaling up.

Reduce the sauce to a simmer.

Use heavier gauge steel.

Lathes are faster than extrusion.

Sewing with dual eye needles seals the seams faster.

A sprinkle of vinegar keeps the beans from going mushy.

Worth learning the tricks of the trade as an apprentice.

You can create the same circumstances as an apprenticeship without that formal state existing.

On the other side of the square they drink coffee out of tiny cups.

The school of gastronomy shows hopeful young future chefs, the right way to dice carrots and slice a rare Ethiopian cheese.

Carriages are lined up around the corner, their drivers polish gleaming mirrors and chrome.

No time to take the bus, walk the streets or hitch a ride.

There’s a cuff link to fasten and a gift to deliver in person.

These are not the essential things of life, just the trimmings.

Tobacco road.

Close but no cigar.

Ode to the spiral as practiced by Lauren Bacall in front of the Big Sleep.

Bunuel sold the senses and kindled church images for Viridiana. Long before the Man from Uncle!

And never underestimate the Andalusian Dog.

There is always that discreet charm!
