Few things bring a grin to that inscrutable visage.

Listening to New Yorkers complain about winter.

A daring escape and the baffled expression of a thwarted Thrush.

Chilled vodka and hot shchi.

The slap of paper as a file is closed on another successful affair.

A well-timed pun. The expression would perhaps be hidden — to prevent encouraging my bad habits.

Explosions. Especially when set by his own workable hands.

Rarely does that grudging grin blossom into a full-blown smile. When it does — warmer than the warmest fire — and brighter than the sun.

It’s a sight worth waiting for.
