Warm my Heart, Oh Sweet Tacos.

I’m slowly learning that my new office is situated among one of the few, if not only areas in DC Metro where a guy can get Chicago-quality Mexican food.
I haven’t posted for a while because that’s about all I can say for the job so far.  And, the rest of it is occupying the rest [...]

Lucian Freud is a Funny Guy

Lucian Freud, the world’s most expensive living artist, has joined the ranks of a select group of artists: those who have designed labels for Château Mouton Rothschild wine.

“MeDoesn’tTeechArt” — Blog Name Crisis Reborn
