The cold fingers of the season have tightened their grip on our sunlight nearly stealing it from our sky. It would be easy to fall into a hibernation, lock oneself into […]
one last tip of the hat to you israel for decking your streets in art, i liked it. i liked it a lot.
It has been a while, I have to admit before I have done a proper tip of the hat, wag of the finger edition. I am a couple trips behind now so I figured now is a perfect time as any. For those of you who don’t know I’m stealing this idea from Stephen Colbert and […]
