i've been craving some good ol' Sheboygan bratwurst for a while now. In case you didn't know, Sheboygan in the official "home of the bratwurst." it's been so long since i've been in wisconsin during the summer, those few short months when sane people still "grill out." visting over the christmas holiday means i have to get my fix at Charcoal Inn, a local restaurant with an indoor charcoal grill. it's just not the same.

then by chance i saw these "sheboygan bratwust" at my local wholefoods market! they actually tasted pretty similar to real brats, but they were white and almost hot-dog small. nice try, but it looks like you still have to travel to sheboygan to get the real thing.

you've heard of pigs-in--a-blanket right? how about cat-in-a-drawing? marcel breuer was lounging on my drawing set and i needed to flip to another page... so i folded the drawing on top of him. does he care? nope. instead he takes a little nap in there, only giving me the evil eye once he gets bored with it. or maybe it was when alex starting tapping on the paper.

how do i bill this time?

I'm a sucker for cars. Anything new, sporty, rare, expensive, or whatever catches my eye. And in New York City you see a lot of nice automobiles.

The other day I'm walking in the UES on my way back to the office from a construction site meeting when i walk past this giant mercedes-benz. It's really not all that rare, but it's bright and shiny and one of the newest models, i think. So i'm checking it out. these benzes still proudly display a big hood ornament just in case you didn't notice that it's an expensive mercedes-benz.

Then i noticed that this car has another hood ornament farther up the hood. I think it looks like a Scotty welded to the car! anyone know the breed? I laughed when i saw it, but then went back and snapped a few pics. i figured my dad would get a kick out of seeing that.
