One thing we have enjoyed living in New York City is walking through its neighborhoods and boroughs. Along the way we met Keith Michael, who among other things, provides walking tours. We invited him to share his story and introduce you to the walks he hosts. Enjoy! Seeing the Essentials with New York City WILD!... Continue Reading →
There are hundreds! There are thousands! They are all here! It is a beautiful Sunday afternoon and Central Park is full of people from all over the world enjoying this beautiful park on a beautiful day.

Since we got here about 5 months ago, we have only been to a couple of art galleries. So we decided to have a gallery day. We caught the C train to the heart of Chelsea, the part of the City that is rumored to be the art center of NYC. We walked the Highline,... Continue Reading →
If you live in New York City you will need to have an umbrella. We didn’t have one when we got here. We now have 4. The important thing to remember about umbrellas is you have to have them with you when it starts raining. They do no good if they are at home... Continue Reading →

Back in the New York groove. It seems so weird having two... Continue Reading →
I remember a song about someone who was conflicted by two lovers. One was soft, gentle and easy. The other was complicated and exciting. Lately I can relate to the conflict. If you have missed us lately, we just returned from a trip home. Routine medicals and check-in with as many friends and family as... Continue Reading →
My introduction was through James Brown and the Famous Flames. An album was released in the early 60’s, titled “Live at the Apollo” and the Godfather of Soul splashed right into the middle of the exploding young American music scene. I remember the Buddy Holly movie when Holly and the Crickets were booked into the... Continue Reading →
