The other day, while surfing around on facebook, I saw a news story about the 25th anniversary of the Casbah. Of course I clicked it … And what did I see at the 1:34 mark of the story? One of my photographs! I had no idea! I was super stoked to see it. I think…

2 things I hope you’ll check out. 1. I was very surprised and excited to be asked to participate in Swimmingly’s 2013 year end round up of music and food. I can’t tell you how many times I wrote and re-wrote my answers … I tried to edit and shorten each time and I still…
