blueberry pierogies

After me, Mr Weiss probably loves blueberries next and blueberry pierogies next after that.  Every summer he waits with anticipation for Veselka’s seasonal blueberry pierogies and has been known to delve in twice in a day… you go boy!  Anyway when we got our house, the most exciting thing for him about it was the […]

give away

My friend Mike is a truly talented artist, even if he is annoying sometimes…. he works in a variety of mediums and so far I have collected some really cool art generated by his ass…um physically. The first three pieces came from his “Japanese Girls” series… I bought for Mr Weiss’s birthday then he made […]
