Late night writing March 29

I spent nearly five hours interviewing an 87 year old man, a former watchmaker for the B&O Railroad, who had more experiences and incredible stories to tell than anyone else I've ever met. After he finished giving me his recipe for spaghetti sauce (handed down by his Italian mother .. handed down to her by generations of sauce makers), he commented, "Gosh, I'm hungry!" I asked what time it was, thinking it was probably 5:00. It was past 7:00. I had reams of notes that needed to be read through and then an article written. Just before midnight, I took this shot. I was too brain fried by the time I got home to post it.
The article will run in two parts - maybe even three because I decided to go back for a few more stories later this week.
I am making Mr. Miglio's spaghetti sauce this weekend. :)

Great story. Did you take any pictures of him? Have you tried the sauce yet?

I help clean the dishes if you would write my papers for me :) ::Thinks that is a great trade::: Sounds like that this Italian colckmaker was very interesting if time flew by and you did not realize how much time you have spend there. Wished I could taste that spagetti sauce!

nice shot... captures the mood of what you've described. If it's available on the web, I hope you'll share the url of the story when it runs.

Another tidy desk! Well composed image. Let us know how the sauce tastes.
