2004 was an interesting year. For the most part, it was a year filled with change and growth. Sure, I had my low moments but those are to be expected and after all, they don't last all that long. Besides, who ever heard of a creative Russian who WASN'T moody? *lol ( Read more... )

As much as I complain about snow, I can still find beauty in the frigid dormancy of winter. I stopped by the harbor today and despite the windchill, took these shots which I offer to you.

Bet ya can't...

So to those who celebrate the holiday--have a wonderful time!!

For those who do not, hang in there, you are in good company (Me!!!)

I slept in, had some good online conversation with two who are dear to my heart, and followed that with quality time with an unexpected visitor to my humble abode. Took a brief walk to the bodega and naturally ran into some, shall we say, characters from ( Read more... )
