Tradition requires this to be a day of reflection and for looking forward. On the last day of 2016 we lost Quah, our dog of 16 years. She was the kindest, gentlest, best looking dog we have ever owned. She was a mutt like us, and she was always an important member of the family.... Continue Reading →

Holidays are joyful, There's always something new But everyday is a holiday When we hear from you. We wish you Merry Christmas, We are apart it is true... But we can... Continue Reading →
Just some Christmas spirit... Holiday window dressings from 5th Avenue to Macys on 34th street, and a song by Brian Wilson. The Christmas spirit grows with each new day And it’s so close but seems so far away And yet it comes only once a year And before you know it it's already here Everybody... Continue Reading →
We have had a lot of snow this week. It is still a novelty for the two of us. Waking up and seeing a white world is like a 5yr old walking into the living room on Christmas morning and finding the doll she wants under the tree. We have wasted a lot of time... Continue Reading →
Another weekend, another holiday and another celebration. Santacon rates up there with some of the best. Each year hundreds, maybe thousands of Santa Clauses, Ms. Clauses, elves, reindeer, wise men, Christmas trees, North Pole Cheerleaders, or any imaginable, Christmas themed costume show up, stage a rally and then parade through the pubs and bars of...

We were walking down 50th Street toward 8th Avenue. The darkness and the cold made the tree lined street seem later that it was. Ahead, a small crowd was gathering on the sidewalk outside a storefront. My first thought was that it was another Toto Ramen café with hungry New Yorkers waiting their turn to... Continue Reading →
Lights flickered down the tunnel. The rumble of the train got louder. In an instant, a picture from another era emerged. A vintage 1930’s era subway train rolled into the Second Avenue subway station at 63rd and Lex. We had waited an hour and now we were getting ready to take a ride in yesteryear.... Continue Reading →
It was starting late, by Texas standards. Curtain up at 10 pm. My first thought was that I hope I don’t nod off. JAM got tickets, and we were off! Radio City Music Hall, a famous building in a city full of famous buildings. The show? The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular! We didn’t know what to... Continue Reading →
But if you need a second choice, New York City is the place to be. There are several reasons for this. First, New Yorkers celebrate whenever they have the opportunity. Seldom a weekend goes by without a parade, art or music festival, a run, or other public event, sanctioned or improvised. Second, the City... Continue Reading →
The chance encounter came during a recent visit to Governors island (Some Days Nov 1, 2017). We were hiking down from a tall hill overlooking the Hudson Bay when a fellow hiker met us on a narrow path. I alerted her to a group of caterpillars on the path ahead. She stopped. Her name was...
