Yup, that’s right. I’ve gotten a lot of questions asking when the next block printing class will be and, unfortunately, I’m not scheduling anymore. What can I say? I’m busy. And hello! Remember how much I worked to get the word out about the last class I taught? and only two people showed up.

Adam and I saw Macbeth last night at BAM in Brooklyn. Patrick Steward was a very convincing Macbeth, and the production was so impressive.

On Sunday, Adam and I had a Fondue Party for my birthday. Although, I didn’t tell anyone because I wanted it to be about the food and not me. We had a blast and people loved the goodie bags I made. I had done quite a bit of prep work weeks before the party. One [...]

Adam and I spent last Saturday evening with Tony Vaccaro, a fantastic American photographer who is best known for his photos taken in Germany during World War II. Tony was a private in the 83rd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army in the Normandie and then in Germany. While he was shooting guns and dodging [...]
