Thoughts turn gratefully to those
who have supported me thru the year.
If only there were more like you,
I wouldn't be changing careers.

More beautiful snowmen.
I want to thank everyone for the many snowmen people have sent me in the past weeks. I enjoyed them all but I had to pick just a few and so I picked the most unusual.
First from Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan by… Read full post »
Here's a round-up of great snowmen from the past week. This genius piece was produced by artist G Augustine Lynas.
With the snowstorms in the Mid-Atlantic I've been tied up doing very important press junkets...so I'm a little behind. Speaking of which...
