Wedding season ends for me with a coast to coast itinerary over the next two weekends. Next week I will drive to New Jersey for my cousin’s wedding and Eko will of course be my faithful copilot for that trip. But this weekend I take to the skies and travel to California for my good …
As I have mentioned before, someone at GQ Magazine definitely reads this blog and has borrowed a few fashion tips from Eko. But really, that’s just the beginning. The more I look around, the more I realize that dogs are taking over the world of fashion and advertising. More brands and commercials seem to use …

In the past I have posted a few photos of Eko when he was a puppy and a number of people suggested I post some more. Unfortunately, I didn’t get snap-happy with my camera until Eko was a bit older so I don’t have a lot of puppy photos to begin with. Nevertheless I have …
I love Chicago in the summer time. The beaches and parks come to life and there is always something fun to do. However, every once in a while it’s nice to trade the big city for something a bit more serene, so yesterday Eko and I took a day trip down to Starved Rock state …
