happy friday!

dah -- Just figured out how to take a picture with my phone and upload it directly to the blog! Yeah, I got an inexpensive phone, but it works pretty good.

Image for 2-10-2011 - Old Man Winter

Winter returned to southeast Virginia last night. I awoke before dawn to find heavy, wet snow covering everything. We got 2-4 inches; not enough to keep me home, but enough to make the drive in  beautiful.

A lot of people around here whine about the cold and snow, but I love it.

Bring it on!

Today's image was inspired by my buddy's Casey blog, or at least some of his posts. This is a goblet of Allagash BLACK and it was very tasty.

Image for Feb. 8, 2010 - Jeff Maisey

I had dinner tonight with my old friend Jeff Maisey at Cogan's Instant Art Bar in Ghent (Norfolk, Va).

Jeff and I have been friends for over twenty-five years. We've had a few adventures. Hiked in the mud and rain in cold in Scotland and in the mountains of Virginia. Run the streets of New Orleans and Cleveland. Been to a couple of NFL football games. He's got the wanderlust bad, not unlike myself. We are always planning or dreaming about the next odyssey. Tonight's topic was Germany and Prague and Amsterdam and Dublin and, and, and...

Jeff is a survivor. He's one of those lemonade guys. He got laid off from his job a couple of years ago at the bottom of the economic implode and bounced back launching his own monthly publication, VEER magazine. Full disclosure, I did the web site and do a little here and there for VEER. Jeff is expanding his empire and just last week added a new pub to his stable called "Afr-Am". Much success old boy.

Image for Feb. 7, 2010 - Art from the archive

Another piece of art from the mighty Weaverwerx archive, that I recently scanned for my "Reluctant Sadist" book project. This was a cover I did for the long gone and long missed local magazine "Catharsis". Ah, those were the days.

I am a Green Bay Packers fan. Have been since I meet Bart Starr when I was a wee little cub scout. Here are a few shots from the big win.

Yeah Baby!

Nuff said.
