I’m a bit of a night owl. I’m tired but wife aeake at 2am. And, what a night it has been. First off, we haven’t seen the resident groundhog. We are afraid that the fox ate him. Second, we heard a terrifying cry from an animal. I looked […]
Every day, somewhere and everywhere in New York City, is street-cleaning day. As such, there are days when you have to make sure to move your car so as to let the street cleaning truck do its thing. It is utter chaos for about 30 minutes. People hurry […]
Take a stroll. Ride the subway. Get on the ferry. Hail a cab. Bike the narrow lanes. Whatever mode it may be that you travel through New York, you are bound to be entertained in some way. Every New York city sidewalk holds the potential of providing a […]

I see the holiday decorations all around. They seem more plentiful than the last two years. I am hearing Christmas songs everywhere. Of course, this means two things. First, I will tire of Mariah Carey within a week or so. And, yes I am out and about at […]
I tend to both like and dislike the month of November. My mom was born in November. That’s reason enough to love the month. The leaves further turn and a cold wispy air comes into play. That’s a good reason to like the month. Yet, November is also […]
