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 […]
Oh New York. Again, I love this city. Yet, each day lately I shake my head in wonder. Hate crimes against Asians. Feces throwing on the subway. Following people into apartment buildings. People standing braced against the walls on subway platforms. I’m old enough to remember feeling safe […]

I am back in my beloved city. I couldn’t be happier. As a matter of fact, I am quite thrilled. I love walking down active, full of life streets. I love seeing the city at night. I have often said that New York is best experienced at night. […]
