I will be on vacation for the next ten days and will be detached from a computer. So, for your amusement and my appreciation for your continued following, I thought I would like to share a piece I wrote on the famed New York City’s High Line. Here, is how it all began: On a

What in the world is that, you say?  And, I totally get that response. I believe this photo should be known as the most inventive ‘selfie’ anyone has ever taken!  Yes, I took this selfie, but it is of my back. It was NOT an easy shot to get. This morning, as I was in

There’s been a homicide down in Shangri-la, and Pearl Bailey is a prime suspect. Don’t be fooled by her bashful eye movements, it’s only her attempt at feigning a look of innocence! On our morning stroll to do business, I was down in the back yard with Pearl Bailey when I discovered a gaping hole

‘Be so good they can’t ignore you!’ I heard that last night as I was walking through the living room on my way to the kitchen. I had been in my studio, and even though removed from what was going on in the family room, I still heard plenty of hoops and hollering as the Professor’s

The afternoon was giving away to evening, Pearl Bailey and Ella were down in their Shangri-La. I joined them in the yard sitting on a bench under the palms enjoying the peace and quiet. The dogs

You may have heard me mention Pearl Bailey’s Shangri-La on more than one occasion. This is a reference to the full and lushly landscaped mecca that the Professor and I created for the likes of our maniac pup, Pearl Bailey.

Today is Wednesday, also known as “Hump Day”. I thought I’d issue a little humor by sharing a classic Pearl Bailey story with you. Disclaimer: may cause you to laugh out loud! Early one morning as I was about to step in the shower, Pearl Bailey showed up with an unexpected surprise. There I was
