Jean and I opted to stay home this Thanksgiving holiday.
Tomorrow we will be having a quiet turkey dinner at home, but don’t let that fool you; every single one of you will be sitting in those empty chairs dining with us, whether you know it or not. We are so deeply thankful for each and every one of you, our friends and family.
Cheers to you all this holiday season!

I strive to be the dumbest one in the room. I’ve used this admittedly provocative quip for quite a few years now, with the underlying genesis being “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room” taken to an absurd extreme. It’s the duality of the notion that I love:…
It is true what they say; tattoos are addictive. Ever since my first ink back in February 1996, I’ve been constantly planning the next pieces I’ll get, always looking at least 3 designs in the future. Each design has shifted and changed as I have, up to the point where it is the perfect piece…
