Last fall I was “on assignment” to take some cocktail photos for a client and was told it would be at a bar – The Jeffrey… with a bartender – The Bearded Alchemist… They told me his name, but when you hear the moniker “The Bearded Alchemist,” you don’t […]
Big vs. Small. Mountain meet molehill. Mouse meet Elephant (Eek!). The world is filled with the huge and not so huge. We compare them even when we try not to… “My truck is bigger than yours!” “My cellphone can fit in my wallet!” “My cellphone doubles as a […]
Once again, I walked out to the mail box and found that the utility companies still want to be paid for services. G-LO on the other hand found two bottles of Bas-Armagnac. I must live on the wrong block, or maybe the postman is a little sweet on […]

AK: Friday night means one thing: WHISKY! G-LO: Indeed it does! AK: And since I’ve filled my kids with sushi, it’s Daddy Time! G-LO: Amen, Brother! My kids are filled up with FroYo, Yo! And hopefully fast asleep. AK: I got one in the living room watching a […]
