Housing development’s leftovers

Ever since I can remember, I’ve gone to my grandmother’s house in Rhode Island for Thanksgiving. Family and friends come together for a celebration and non-stop eating with leftovers for three days.

Curling For Columbine: Rocket Home

Retirement can be a funny thing. When a plastic surgeon retires, for example, that’s it. No more boob jobs, facelifts, or tummy tucks. They sit home, collect some money and dedicate hours to become crossword puzzle aficionados.
