It feels like the morning after a storm. Indeed, a storm went through our area yesterday, but it turned out to be a weak one. It definitely wasn’t the SOAKER that was predicted. SOAKER – heavy rain; a rainy, wet day I guess that’s a good thing, but it can be kind of A LETDOWN… Read more »
New Milford, a quaint Connecticut town we came across and enjoyed visiting on our short honeymoon getaway. Well, after being together for 7 years, the fiancee and I finally TIED THE KNOT in a small ceremony at the NYC City Clerk’s Office.

I admit I’m a bit of a CLEAN FREAK. I’m often PARANOID about picking up COOTIES from JUST ABOUT everywhere–on the train, in restrooms, from public computers, et al.–so I wash my hands often, probably more so than most people.

I’d been working for… Read more »
The holiday ice rink & Christmas tree at Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan. I wish you all a very merry Christmas and the chance to do the things you enjoy most during the holidays. I usually try to find time to rest, to REFLECT ON (think about) the year that’s almost over, and anticipate the beginning… Read more »
Ad on the New York City subway Once in a while, I come across clever ads in subway trains that make me CHUCKLE. This one is from Manhattan Mini Storage (No, I don’t work for them.) It’s STEREOTYPICAL of New Yorkers. Most of us are indeed TOLERANT of other people’s ideas and beliefs, and we… Read more »
