Sparkling eyes
A little razzle dazzle A bit of paprika and safron Tap and line dance Swing and sing The masks bite our tongue But are eyes are sparkling If you let them
Despite our curmudgeon nature, we have high hopes
It’s a bit of a cliché, but you have to be a bit tough to be a New Yorker. Fast times. Quick breaks. Snowy, icy sidewalks. Trains that at times randomly skip stops. Huts with snow all around them for outdoor dining. Yes, we’ve learn to eat out […]

A someday list
There are so many lists out there. A to-do list. A run of show list. A shopping list. There’s even a book, which I admittedly bought, called The Checklist manifesto. I myself make a rather lengthy daily to-do list with two columns: work and personal. For a while […]
