There are certain things in life that I will always think of as belonging to someone else and therefore unavailable to me. For instance, the Tolkien books were always my brother's thing and thus I never read them. Thank goodness for Peter Jackson's films otherwise I would still be in the dark about such things … Continue reading Me & Neil & Karma

First Favorite Album
Growing up in Greenwood Lake (GWL) in the 70's was a pretty cool experience. Summers were filled with unknown faces, but the winters were pretty tight.

And Griffin, too, but don't tell anyone. I read the entire newspaper, enjoyed a grapefruit (it has been a … Continue reading Sunday Supper

Lying in bed this morning, I considered the contents of my fridge and was inspired by the … Continue reading Brunch!
