I do stand-up when my family dangles dessert like a peace offering and whispers, “Be funny.” Riffs is my stage and my playground. It is where punchlines pirouette and where laughter sneaks in when you least expect it.
You will find plenty of photographs here, too. I worked as a photojournalist for two decades before turning to writing, and I share images from my explorations of this stunningly beautiful world.
This is also a good stop in case you are hungry. After decades as a food columnist, I have learned that a good meal and a good laugh share the same magic — they linger, they surprise, and they leave you a little fuller.

In Riffs, we don’t just laugh. We eat, wonder and occasionally snort in public, because some joy is too big to swallow quietly.
