The artplate displayed – as it is both a magnificent piece of art and a plate one can dine off of – is drawn by one of the 20th century’s greatest unknown artists. Me. Apparently, it was a thing to give children markers and tell them to draw, turning the resulting thing into a […] I’m not really a cologne person – or as one of my friends calls perfumes and colognes, “smells.” This bottle of tommy is one of three smells that I own – and I rarely wear it. But when I smell it, it takes me back to the first time. He wore it. Consequently, for […] My vacation to Armenia in 2006 was, for me, transformative in many ways. It was not an easy vacation – I did not (and still do not) speak Armenian or Russian. I also could not read the signs – the Armenian alphabet is unique and hard to puzzle out. While there, I picked up […] Last fall I took a week off to explore and hike throughout The Gaspésie peninsula of Québec, Canada. I extolled the virtues of my vacation last November – about a month after I got home. Even now, some 9 months after I was there, I miss that particular trip. My analysis of it in […] This Bull Head Bourbon, produced by the Lake George Distilling Company, is batch 62, bottle 95, bottled on October 24, 2019.

While visiting we did a number of cool things, including going to the 13th Annual “Le Cajun” Cajun Music Association Festival […] Gosh, it was four years ago today that I met friends at Brandenburg Tor to remember the victims of the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting. The above heart was given to me by somebody in the crowd during the gathering to wear – I’ve kept it ever since. I don’t know why. Maybe I do: […] I bought the above vase while visiting Okinawa in January. My trip to Japan was an excellent vacation and, in light of ensuing madness, something that has kept me going over the last few months. I found the vase in a shop along the north side of Kokusai-dori, a street near my hotel.
