A week ago my buddy Kiya had a grand opening party for his new store Self Edge. Self Edge is a high end denim store, the name is derived from the term selvage.
I had been feeling like I had been lagging behind in crafts, so I decided to challenge myself to a new project for [...]

I’m watching the “breaking story” regarding the cartoonist that stormed the Miami El Nuevo Herald with a gun and just noticing how the 24 hour cable tv news handles it. When the news is unknown, the stations obviously try their hardest to fill the gaps by making up their own news. On CNN a [...]

The best Thanksgiving dinner that I ever had was in a Ryan’s Steak House in Chatanooga, TN. Ryan’s is a buffet chain, like Bonanza and Western Sizzler. Lots of buffet tables, jello salads, cheap pasta dishes, and a guy at the end of the buffet with a big knife asking “Turkey or steak?”.

I came back to 826 later [...]

I’m sure a lot of ya’ll remember the blogs I wrote many months ago about John and Fony Hats. John’s work really got me into hats (go figure, a middle aged balding guy getting into men’s head wear…), but shortly after John and I first met he had to leave town for a while. Many [...]
