Step Inside for Happiness – NY Street Art
When visiting a New York City park, you never know what type of street art, street performer or wackadoo you will come across.

Steve Jobs Bobble Head #SteveJobs
I ran across this Steve Jobs bobbled head months ago after Steve Jobs death. I think it’s ironic that he is poised next a Blackberry, a phone that will be out of business in the next couple of years because of the iPhone. It seemed apropos to post the photo in light of Apple’s victory […]
Memories of My Parents – Wish You Were Here by Lee Fields Music Video #Suits
Suits is one of my favorite shows on television. For those the uninitiated, it’s about an underachiever Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) who has eidetic memory (basically he remembers everything he reads and can recite it word for word), who makes a living taking the LSAT for others. One day he happens upon the interviewing session for Pearson Hardman […]
