We, in Dallas, obtained a new art exhibit quite by chance this week. And like the big cities around the world, it will only be here temporarily. So, we went to pay it our respects. It wasn’t exactly Banksy coming to town to spice up the side of a building, but it is loved, if... Continue Reading →
The City Different
Welcome to Santa Fe. Quaint. Picturesque. Historical. Serene. Artsy.
Yes Virginia, There is a Wonderland…
Some wonder if Alice’s adventures were real or if it was a dream. Perhaps it is only in dreaming that we find a reality that is worth living. Sure, we all have responsibilities.

Tugboat Games in the The Great North River
New York is a city dressed in glass, anchored in stone, driven by an energy fueled with creativity, invention and commerce. Her heart beats with dreams but her blood flows from the sea. Today we celebrated the 26th annual Tugboat Race and Competition on the Great North River (aka Hudson). The day was fittingly wet,... Continue Reading →
