Bob Dylan is a favorite singer-songwriter of mine so it’s only appropriate that I post about him as he reaches the milestone of 70 years on this earth. The internet, of course, abounds with videos of him (some great, some not-so-great, and some where he seems almost like a parody of himself), but the belowContinue reading “Five Quotes and a Song from Bob Dylan”

>The Birds Didn’t Get It All…
> For the past few days I’ve felt like “old farmer Joe” as I shooed birds away from my experimental little wheat field (er…wheat patch). Each morning as I’d get up there would be a crowd of birds bobbing and pecking away at the wheat kernels; I thought for sure they’d get it all…but theyContinue reading “>The Birds Didn’t Get It All…”

>The Bubble Man of Allen Street
> As a life long Buffalonian I have always promoted our city as both beautiful (on many levels) bt also unique, and sometimes a bit quirky…this is a good example. I’m of course talking about the Bubble Man, the man who fills the street with bubbles from his third story apartment 365 days a year.Continue reading “>The Bubble Man of Allen Street”

>"High Seventies" (and truly inspiring)
>Here’s another inspiring short clip from Streetfilms. This one profiles Lucette Gilbert, a French woman living in New York who (in her own words) is in her very high seventies…and she still commutes by bike to work. Not only is it inspiring what she has to say about biking but more so in her movements…lookContinue reading “>"High Seventies" (and truly inspiring)”

>A Couple Pics

>Employee Meal 5.18.11
> Kibbeh on a skewer (kafta). Mmmm…I love this stuff. This is part of my ethnic heritage (my dad’s family was from “the old country”). Ate it with a salad, with fresh yogurt and hydroponic tomatoes (and bread of course). This is so easy to make and super flavorful…my mouth is watering as I rememberContinue reading “>Employee Meal 5.18.11”

>Inspiring Short Clip

Not winter cold, but surely too cold for this time of year. I don’t know what it is but those short glimpses in between rainContinue reading “>After the Rain”

Strange Coincidence
I’ve been hesitant to share this photo for a while, I’m not sure why…just have. But anyhow, I thought I’d share the story behind it and the somewhat odd coincidences that go along with it. Well, first of all, the man in the picture is Fred Tornow and he is standing in front of myContinue reading “Strange Coincidence”
