View post →The other night I went to a chocolate and wine tasting. Sweet, smokey, citrusy, spicy, peachy, leathery, creamy, gritty, smooooth. Words that sometimes would state the obvious and at other times would awaken the flavor on my taste buds just by reading the words during the tasting. Strange how that works. This is an I-Pad […]

I was at Mystic Seaport yesterday with members of Dalvero to watch and reportage the foremast of the Morgan being installed. In nuatical terms it’s called “stepping” and it’s a great milestone for a ship, done with great ceremony. It was such a wonderful drawing experience. The boat, the crane, the ropes and the crew […]
