In preparation for Easter at Tami & Chris’s we took Koa off their hands for the afternoon. This is always full of challenges. We decided to spend the day in the backyard and Koa was quietly waiting for the ducks to show. She would ignore them til she felt she could pounce. Of course the …

NYC 2014
We took a train from Greenwich to Grand Central Station (forgot to take a photo). Paz met us and immediately whisked us to their favorite Thai Restaurant, Sripraphai. We consumed a whole fried fish & with fishy breath we jetted off to the Queens Museum to watch a press conference where Mayor Bill de Blasio …

Christmas Eve 2013

Nico Yuen
Tonight I had an appointment with Nico. He was more interested in eating than posing for photos. Okay a week later take 2. I tried something different, a Gary Fong collapsible powersnoot.
