Go(ing) West, (with a) young man

Flowers in the Museum – not in the attic.
How about that Steven Tyler? I have to admit, he has made watching American Idol fun all over again with his crazy exclamations and genuine respect for the contestants. But, this posting isn't about AI - it is about the annual NYS Museum Flower I attended last weekend, like I attend this event every single … Continue reading Flowers in the Museum – not in the attic.
