Beggars Can't Be Choosers

I'm making my usual rounds, but it seems my go-to guy is away for an extended vacation.

Without so much as a note!

Lights, Camera, Action!

Gotta love New York...I'm out taking my morning stroll and whaddya know? They're filming a movie in my neck of the woods.

Archery, anyone?

Let it never be said that I encountered a stick that proved too daunting.

"I'll Take Manhattan"

"...Staten Island too..."

I'm not sure what came over me, but today the New York Vertical book was too good to pass up as was the Real Estate section of The New York Times. By mid-afternoon, I had moved on to Business and Style.

Face to Face Meeting

Sometimes, email just doesn't cut it. You miss the gestures, the expressions.

Even "in person," I was almost fooled into thinking we were cousins!

I Could Almost Taste It

Doughy...chewy...filling but not too filling...

But alas, this New York bagel was just out of reach.

Style Makeover

Here I am modeling my country (L) and city (R) look.

I'm guessing you can tell the "before" from the "after"

Forgive the crude imaging.

When are these jokers gonna install photoshop on my machine?

"The Good Life" Preserver

I tapped into my Portuguese fishing heritage and ran around the yard with reckless abandon.

Swimming, Italian Style

Translation: "Welcome aboard!"

Back Seat Driver

Yeah, they're softies...no more crate for me.
