Tales of Center City

I have a cunning plan.  Follow the stump. I took mama on a little detour after I’d done my afternoon “business” in Rittenhouse Square park.  She thinks I forget these things, but I know EXACTLY where every dog store is in town.  In EVERY neighborhood that we’ve explored.  And today I want a cookie. So…

Stickwork… The Next Level

For those of you who have mastered the basics of stickwork, I present Stickwork – The Next Level. Notice the nonchalance – looking away from the tasty stick, ears forward to hear something way off in the other direction, away from the stick of goodness. A bit of a devil-may-care (Bogart Handsome Devil DOES care)…

Cones, Glorious Cones

I am bereft of my beloved pine cones so far here in Philadelphia.  I do miss my daily romp, chasing them as they bounce wildly, having a good crunch, carrying some home in my gaping maw for later. But wait… These Are Cones Not quite what I was thinking of… but I’ll take it (and…

PAWSing for Greenfest

Well, this wasn’t here yesterday… some Saturday night revelers must have found this amusing… Smiley face! The bright blue garage door was going to be perfect as a backdrop for a modeling shot.  If I would just look at the camera. But I turned on the cuteness instead.  And then got really, really bored.  So…

Rockin the PEZ

Just another crazy Friday night at the Bogart Handsome Devil household… On tonight’s menu is a giant bowl of chicken soup for me, chocolate PEZ for mama (she splurged on a big box because apparently it’s not that easy to find chocolate PEZ), and a fine Netflix selection of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.  I…

What’s in a Sign?

Well, cock a doodle do… A fantastic sign, but I can’t see any business that it’s crowing for. But it’s darned cool. This has been bothering me for some time.  Every day I spend time in the Washington Square park, and every day I pee near this: Sounds cool, right?  Except that the “tree” is…

Exploring Old City

What’s a boy and his mama to do on Labor Day… the sun is shining, the humidity is low, it’s time to explore more of this fine city that we have blindly moved to.  We haven’t really explored the Old City area, so… This is the National Constitution Center.  GO CONSTITUTION!!!  I use the opportunity…
