sour toe cocktail

Well, one of the interesting side effects of doing this blog is all the feedback that I get from people.

My friend Ilona (http://www.openviewphotography.com/), who has been up to Alaska, sent along this link to an amusing story and place that she has visited: www.donreddick.com/tr_27.html The story of the sourtoe cocktail is something you won't want to miss.

Blogging. The word - "blog" - sounds like someone is about to be sick. The experience is like writing a diary, with someone looking over your shoulder. Luckily, I've done very little in either regard (writing a diary, or having someone look over my shoulder while I'm writing).
So this whole wrinkle ("blogging") on the trip to Alaska should prove to add another interesting dimension.

Marking 3 Years

I moved to Trinidad in mid June 2020, and opened 221B Gallery at the end of 2021. I've had the pleasure of presenting work from Steven Benson (Orlando, Florida), Hans Droog (Trinidad, soon St. Louis), Jo-Anne Green (Boston), Sheigla Hartman (Trinidad), Bonnie Lambert (Helena, Montana), Bobby Neel Adams (Bisbee, Arizona), Robert Welkie (Los Angeles) and Jennifer Korsen (Los Angeles - who also created a mural on an exterior gallery wall). Work from Ken Abbott (Asheville, North Carolina) goes up tomorrow. Raven, my faithful companion for 9 years who traveled with me to ten states, passed away in April. 10 week old Tyche arrived in the household at the beginning of June, and siblings Anton Chekhov (male tabby) and Ava Gardner (female calico) are not thrilled about having to baby-sit a third dog, and have to train another from the beginning..... Things are rapidly changing in Trinidad with an expansion of businesses downtown, a new Hilton about to open, Fishers Peak opening new tra

Groundhog's Day, 2023 My favorite holiday! Little commercialization, 100% American, silly, nothing political or religious and, thanks to Bill Murray, it is fully set in the last generation's consciousness. Tyche, at 10 months, the new pup (birthday at the end of March), a welcome addition as my canine companion. Ava Gardner and Anton Chekhov, begrudgingly welcomed him into the household in June. After two prior canines, they were sure the house was their domain. And now there is Margaret. I'm a lucky guy, off to new adventures.
