The Ocean Called…

It feels like I hit the ground running since my return home to New England this past weekend after a brief stay in Delaware and Maryland. I had gotten on the road early on Friday morning, beginning the long drive through New York, New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania while in route to meet up […]

Sunsets, Album Anniversaries and Pirate Dogs…

I had every intention of updating ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ earlier this week, with a post scheduled for the morning of Labor Day, but since I have literally been cruising up and down the entire coast of California over the past few days following a stay in Las Vegas, I just needed a day by the […]

I cannot believe that we’re already saying farewell to November.
