Lox & Vodka | Simcha

Caron Dale's klezmer and simcha ensemble Lox and Vodka recently entertained at a bar mitzvah reception I covered. Good music, freylekhe zeit. Good times.

Halloween dolls | Richmond VA

I saw these dolls displayed in a single yard in the Bellevue neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia's Northside. Thanks to my friend Ellen Zagorin for the walk, tour, and good company.

Happy Halloween.
