Why I Should Live in the Desert
Friday, November 28th, 2008

A few weeks ago I happened to be upstate in the place where I was born and raised – Watertown, NY.  Chances are you’ve never heard of this place.  Don’t feel bad.  I certainly spent a couple of years trying to forget it.  However, if you know of this remote locale, I guarantee your first [...]

Before All The Leaves Blew Away
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Brooklyn seemed to have an especially pretty fall this year.  The colors were more vivid than I remember in years past and the light that filtered through the buildings was sharp and clear.  These photos were all taken of the tree outside of my bedroom window and about two days later, the winds picked up [...]

My Vegas Vacation Recap
Saturday, November 1st, 2008

As it was my virgin trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, I had no idea what I was in for.  Expectant of nothing, I found this gambler’s mecca quite appealing in a grown-up, hedonistic Disneyland kind of way.  Arriving to the Paris hotel was a shock in itself with the Eiffel tower opening up into a [...]
