Ok, I admit it. I have a bit of control freak in me. I like things in order, I'm a fan of symmetry, I appreciate defined lines. People always get on me because I will never wear wrinkled clothes, and I used to be so bad I had my closet organized by solids, then stripes and …
Hawkman half way round the world..
A few months ago, I had a great trip across the water to parts of Asia. Ever since I got back, I haven't been able to let it go... It's like I'm being called back there for some reason. While I was there, I did get some nice pics with my friend, the hawkman. Now, …
Man Stuph…
ladies, feel free to forward this to your husbands, boyfriends, sons, friends... basically anyone you know is a man 🙂 I don't know why we do this... totally a man thing, but logically, it makes no sense. I'm in my office, where parts look like a war zone, cuz we are doing a complete retrofit …

Moonstruck…
Tonight, the moon was amazing. I was glad I decided to tote my camera to work, even though it sat lonely in the trunk of my car all day. Yet, when it was time to leave, the only thing I could think about was introducing my camera to that bright beautiful orb in the sky. …
Death of a Good Cut of Meat…
It started so well... good recipe from a well known chef... time on my side, no rush to get ready for work the next day, and the coup de grace, a good cut of meat: 5 lbs of pork shoulder, ready for roasting. It was a challenge I would accept willingly, looking forward to the …
Man Projects…
There is a running joke that men can't follow directions... no, that's not really it... Not can't but won't. The bad thing is when men are faced with a task that is generally associated as a "man project", the directions actually promote the stereotype. An intricate task with minimal information. A few pictures, as if …
