When I was home for Christmas I scanned in some images from my mom's photo albums. I hand picked a few here of my grandpa Rudy. Grandpa Rudy had a lot of spunk. Him and my grandmother Nadine had a total of 11 children. The last photo is of my mom and my Aunt Suzie who died in a car accident when she was in her early twenties.

Bar Hopping with Gondoliers

I love it when New York Times' T Magazine pops up with a fun little story such as this. Appropriately timed for the holiday season as well. Written with hidden wit, Joan Juliet Buck takes us through her Christmas adventure that is guaranteed to make you jealous of her life and time.

I have a sucker spot for all things whimsical and creepy. So, I became a quick fan of Brooke Shadens work when I saw it come up on Honestly WTF.

I enjoy these Ernest Hemingway prints from the Baron Wells prints shop. Oddly, whenever I think of Ernest Hemingway, I'm not reminded of his literature but, of his Polydactyl cats.

Last year I bought a large batch of old baseball cards on Ebay. I was planning on making some project out of them. Instead they sit in my car, a few cards are glued to the ceiling by the rear view mirror. Occasionally browsing the collection serves as entertainment for a passenger. What I love about some of these old baseball cards is not only the campy design but, the photographs; ranging from serious and sweaty with a huge mustache to a slim pitcher in action looking like he's got rubber limbs and a stretched out face. The discussions The Baseball card of Infamy and Great Moments in Awkward Baseball Card Design: A Conversation with Josh Wilker posted on Print Magazine's blogs by Drew Dernavich are a great colloquy of these topics.

Běda! Last night I was invited to my neighbor's for a delicious meal of enchiladas verdes. We we're on the topic of traveling and transportation craft of choice. I was trying to think of the name of this book all night. A couple minutes ago I remembered the author's complete name. Funny memory. This book documents a wonderful adventure about traveling around the world on a motorcycle.



On a side note. The versions with this cover work are extremely rare. So, I cherish owning a copy of this version.

Bio: Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte is by far on of my favorite musicians/famous person. He's also the only person I've ever wanted to meet before I die. I love his music dearly and am also a great fan of his dedicated political and civil activism.
I always end up listening to some Harry Belafonte music when I'm feeling blue. He's a had a wonderfully successful career being a calypso icon. Harry is also not too shabby of ana actor if you even catch a flick he's in. Read more.
