The Bar of my Dreams
Were I not a happily married man, I would fill my basement with the stuff pictured above, especially that sweet combination ashtray/magazine rack. I even used to have that wood panelling, I knew I should have kept it!
What Ever Happened to the Man From Atlantis Toys?

Rug Hooking Rocked!

Back to school means formal occasions
These fine outfits are perfect for Jr. Proms, confirmations, sweet sixteens, weddings, Bar Mitzvah’s and of course humiliation….The Epherema blog has posted an interview with yours truly, which I admit I was surprised to be asked, it can be seen here.
