THANK YOU FROM THE EDITOR Some would say this edition is a little late, that Christmas has already passed and we're on to New Years. However, being raised Christian by a Roman Catholic and Orthodox Ukrainian, the 12 days of Christmas takes on longer journey, or in my...
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR I'll Take: Staying in New York during the holidays for $500, Alex. It's that time of year. Pumpkin everything, parades, gift nightmares, travel woes, and family drama. Have I covered it all? Not likely but you get the point. Me, I stick it out...
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR No, this is not some exhausted ode to Al Pacino a la Scarface, however eyes are usually the first thing I notice on a new acquaintance, and that usually gets me curious as to what's behind them... what had made them. In David's case I saw a...
