holiday dinner

The family got together this evening for the big holiday dinner. The folks, my sisters, my nieces, two aunts, one uncle, a cousin and her son. The food was excellent, of course; my mom’s holiday dinners always are… The highlight for me was my Aunt Dee. (She has always been my favorite…) She is the […]

dapperkink

A new post is up over at my wordpress blog: dapperkink. This one summarizes the backstory of my developing personal style, in words and image. Let’s call this the precursor to the year-end wrap-up posts… My life has set upon a path that gathers all the random occurrences into a single, tight thread, wound upon […]
