It is, as I type these words, 100% full…couldn’t take my eyes off it as I pedaled home tonight (with a table on the back of the bike); lovely night for a bikeContinue reading “>100% Full”

>The Look of Devotion
> A couple things. First, this photo really doesn’t have anything to do with Urban Simplicity other than I happen to be a dog lover. This is Maxwell, one of my pugs. I have always found the look that a dog gives his owner (alpha) truly incredible…it is nothing short of a look of unconditionalContinue reading “>The Look of Devotion”
