Stogy Smoke and the City
Like a lot of people, I use the term “stogy” as a fairly catchall term referring to any cigar. However, according to Dictionary.com, the actually definition of “stogy” is:
1. a long, slender, roughly made, inexpensive cigar
I had a stogy this evening, let me tell you. I decided that tonight would be my first real walk [...]
Urban Assault Vehicle
After letting it languish all last summer, I finally got around to patching the hole in my bicycle’s rear tire. I took her out for a ride shortly after and, while I think a tune-up is needed, it felt good to be out on two wheels again. I’ll have to take it in for a [...]
Changes to the Site
I’ve made a few changes to the site. The most obvious is the design. I’ve put a new template in place. I’m not sure if I’ll stick with it or not. I feel it looks a bit more “professional” than the old one, but I’m not sure I like the lack of colour. I hope [...]
Havana, A Tale Told in Pictures
This was Havana. It was basically the first sight (and site) that I saw in the city. San Francisco Square, the first of four squares in Old Havana. The other squares, I don’t remember the names of, to be honest, but they were equally impressive. Being in the old quarter of Havana brought to mind [...]
Pictures from my Trip to Cuba
I’ve finally uploaded the pictures from my recent trip to Cuba. Head over to my Flickr page to check them out.
Obviously, I’ve only put up a select few. I wasn’t really shooting for “artistic value” while I was there, so you’ll have to forgive the awfulness of a few of the shots.
In any case, [...]
New Desk and Newly Organized
I spent this evening putting together the new computer desk I got on the weekend. Before dismantling and disposing of the old one, though, I went through all the papers I had stacked on it. I was able to toss most of them, so the new desk is clean and uncluttered. Hopefully, I’ll be able [...]
Art Party in an Uber Cool Urban Loft
Last night, I attended a party for blood ink journal. The party was held in one of the editors’ ultra cool downtown loft. The party was a blast. Good words spoken on the microphone, and some pretty incredible art hanging on the walls. I secretly hope that the owner keeps her condo decorated that way [...]
Naked Grape Chardonnay
I picked up a couple of bottles of Naked Grape today, on the recommendation of Mandie Lopatka. I grabbed a Merlot and a Chardonnay, as she recommended. Since I was having a meatless meal, I figured that the white would be a better match, so I threw the Chardonnay in some ice and let it [...]
The Raving Poets Play the Blues
Tonight was “Blues Night” at the Raving Poets, and it was smashing. If there is such a thing as a perfect set, tonight was it. Two perfect sets, actually. The energy was on full. Both the crowd and the readers were giving it everything they had.
