A Dog’s Life
My dog knows nothing of robots. Of this I am glad. Our previous dog used to bark at the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, Roomba lasted much less longer than Angus.
Like I said, our new dog doesn’t know a robot from a bag of hammers. He leads a dog’s life and follows me and my wife around, that is, when he is not sleeping. I love him because he does tell us what he wants, whether it is a walk, food, or to simple sit on my lap. He is my first ever lap dog. Better than a robot, even if he can be a lot of work. They will never build a robot who gives you a warmer & more sincere welcome home to you everytime than a dog. Never.

As I sip my coffee on a wet park bench...I can't help notice a tree reflecting in the puddle at my feet and I swear I thought the tree was dancing in front of me...in fact I took this as it bent back to touch mother earth - what the hell was in that coffee?
This is a pure reflection with tiles looking east.
Time 9am.

Mighty Are We As One
All that.
Whether you're using one, two, or three of these pieces to create a modular candelabra, you are guaranteed to get some oooohs and aaaaaaahs from your friends. Each piece is adjustable, making them a lot of fun to play around with, and very substantial in weight, being made out of solid brass (no falling over on the job). Adding candles and setting them alight just adds to the wow factor -- sit back and enjoy the glow.

Big News, Mama’s moving in! My lovely 95 year old Mom will be living with us starting this month
I’m excited to have some special time with her, yet realize I will need to work from home more with less traveling to market my work at shows. With this in mind, I’m going to get a bit more creative in my posts here, and also plan to do more wholesaling. If any of you know of the perfect shop or gallery that would be a good fit for my work, private message me with a referral and I’ll reward you with your own secret code for 20% off anything in my shop! Happy New Year!

Around The Village
According to Mayor Paul Vagianos:
We're less than 10 days in and the new administration has taken action on issues important to our community.
At the council meeting on Wednesday, January 11, 2023 we covered the following:
• Lunar New Year Day - we presented a proclamation to members of the AAPI community that recognizes Lunar New Year Day on January 22.
• Ridgewood Water - we introduced two ordinances that make progress on ensuring clean, safe drinking water for our families. This is an investment in our community that involves the safety and wellbeing of all residents.
• School Resource Officer - we approved an agreement with the BOE for a school resource officer, providing $100,000 that will be matched by the BOE.
• Central Business District Advisory Committee & Green Ridgewood - we appointed members to these boards and I would like to thank them for their service to our community.
• Hybrid Meetings - we established policies for hybrid participation in our meetings starting January 25. While we are working hard to predict every possible scenario, there may be some bumps in the road. Bear with us as we work through making our meetings more accessible for all.
