I'm back from Spain and Morocco

I'm back from my trip to Morocco and Spain. Here's a picture of Celeste, her friend Ayesha, and me in Sevilla. It was great to see Celeste and I'm so happy she was able to rearrange her schedule to be in Sevilla at the same time as me.

Just in time for Christmas

Danny and I are now the proud owners of this "faux-fireplace" that was featured in last week's issue of Time Out New York. I bid on the fireplace in an auction and it was delivered tonight. The piece was designed by Wary Meyer's Decorative Arts and crafted out of materials found on the streets of New York. The proceeds of the auction went to an AIDS and Homelessness charity in NYC.
