brooklyn staten island...tugboat???

this is supposed to be a depiction of the old 69th street ferry. The ferry went from brooklyn to staten island and it cost a nickle when i was a kid!!  I had many happy times on that ferry boat.  too bad my rendition looks more like a tugboat.

37 years of friendship

a conversation

I met a very nice Korean woman the other day who told me she could tell by talking to me that i had a "peaceful heart".She said she believed it was because i was an artist and doing what i love that this peaceful attitude was evident in my being.
how cool is that?

new year's day 2012

i just wanted to say a few words about new year's resolutions and how i never make them anymore.  i found making them difficult; never mind actually keeping them. so this year is no exception to my "no resolutions "rule. however,there are things i want to do and one of those things is to be more attentive to this blog. i hope to post a lot more frequently this year.

one year with cassie
