    Christmas 2018

    Went to the Different Pointe of View restaurant again with my husband, dad, and a friend of his. Enjoyed the delicious food, elegant atmosphere, and gorgeous view.

  • Lady’s First Christmas at the Smithers-Greene

    Portait of a Costumed Lady

    Lady says, "Hats are not the fashion for canines such as me; nevertheless, noblesse oblige!"

    Sir Buxley Smithers-Greene also deigned to pose in a holiday costume.

    A noble hound indeed!

  • We’re not afraid to say it: Happy Chanukah!

    Our home’s chanukiah (the proper term for a Chanukah menorah) on the first night of Chanukah. It’s displayed prominently in the front kitchen window, facing the street.

    The title of this photo is a reference to some Christian people’s response to secularism, in particular, a BBQ restaurant sign in Nashville, TN I photographed that said, "We’re not afraid to say it: Merry Christmas!"

    By the way, those are multicolored LED Christmas lights reflecting off the chrome of the chanukiah. We are an "interfaith" couple; besides, I grew up celebrating Christmas in a secular or, let’s be honest about it, pagan way. What’s all the fuss about anyway, folks? Don’t know know why Christmas, Chanukah, and Ramadan are all around the same time? They are religious overlays to a pagan foundation of celebrating the winter solstice! If you ask me, we’re all just trying to cheer ourselves up by lighting candles, stringing lights, and giving gifts at this, the darkest and coldest time of the year.
