In the fall and spring, morning walks in NYC can be quite hectic. In the summer, instead of so many suits, you catch glimpses of runners running on by. You catch a moment, or two of doggies being walked around the block. You also do see children running […]
What to make of random events and sightings? Shrug. Accept them. Give them meaning. Discount them. My mom believed everything had meaning. Everything was a symbol. For everything, there was a sign. I used to laugh at her propensity for uber-symbolism. However, I was steeped in it. And, […]
What was the last live performance you saw? It’s been ages since I saw a performance in some kind of stage. I have actually been quite fortunate to watch live performances-really good jazz ones- on the block down from me in Brooklyn. That is one beautiful, awesome part […]

Today, was one of those very New York days. First off, sadly, today was the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. We are still all very much impacted by this in my beloved city. As I rode the subway today, I felt everything was more or less normal […]
