It’s super cool but super funny too.

A cow on the lam found its way into the fountain of Veterans Memorial Park, which is in our (husband) hometown. #truestory

Gives new meaning to the term tree hugger.


He/She moves too, apologies for the Blair Witch effect but just because we own a smart-phone doesn’t mean we (husband) know how to use it.

And to think folks were concerned that the invasion of 7-11 would gentrify our East Village. Not. A. Chance.

Think a little Herb Alpert is more than appropriate, wouldn’t you agree?

This grammy-winning song has been sampled by over 10 different rap and r&b artists. Not bad for a nerdy band geek. Bet Biggie Smalls Hypnotize is his favorite royalties rendition.

Waiting on beer deliveries this sunny morning, will have an updated draught list shortly.

See you upstate!

Probably should play hookie plan on leaving the office a little early.

Best way to enjoy the warm weather and sun while it lasts? Brown-paper-bagging it of course. And we know of the perfect wine to class up the occasion. #highbrow

Bohigas Brut Rosat Cava. Yup a pink drink, kind of like purple drank for grown-ups. Our sassy neighbor Tinto Fino carries it for only $16.

See you upstate!
