i’m taking a class

Yahoo! Another part of becoming an artist again, I’m taking a class.
On thursday night was my first of an 8-week silkscreening class.
It’s given by one of the biggest not-for-profit printshops around, Lower East Side Printshop.
So the class has 10 people, each from a variety of ages and backgrounds, but most are artists of some [...]

stuck in queens

yeah! Who knew one could be stuck in quuens.
I brought my car to Bayside, to a dealer, to get a recall taken care of, and the car seats checked for safety.
Well, in order to do that, they’re gonna take all day, and now I’ve had to call for help, to be rescued and borrow [...]

“Squat” Book Review

A book about 24 hours in the life of a homeless man in the Lower East Side.
I’m not normally one who reviews books, but I felt compelled to write about this one.
A quick read, I read it over the course of a weekend. It was interrupted reading, between my young sons having something to [...]

Awesome experience!

Yesterday was a really great day! I painted. Not just any painting, but I painted in church.

I have seen people paint in church, and I have heard of [...]

It is very exciting!
It does however, have it’s difficulties.
Driving 2 boys to and fro 2 different schools takes time– about [...]

no looking back…

Phoenix had his first “official” day at Rainbow today.
After we dropped Willik, we trekked over to the preschool. I basically will be driving in a triangle pattern everyday. It’s not very distant, but it can be “trafficky”.
It wasn’t too bad today, as made it there later than most kids, since Willik’s schedule was [...]

Kindergarten butterflies

The day started with a very tired Willik, having arrived from Florida around 10:30, but going to bed around midnight, it wasn’t the ideal restful night before the big day, but… such is life.
Since Fabio wasn’t working today, Phoenix got to stay with dad, while Willik and I made our way to his new school.
We [...]

tomorrow and the next day and then the other one too…

This week is a big one for the Mirs. Willik comes back from Florida tomorrow.
Then he starts Kindergarten on tuesday. That’s gonna be a BIG change.

Then wednesday, Phoenix starts at Rainbow preschool. He went there for about 2 weeks, in the summer, since Willik had broken his wrist, but that was just [...]
