“I don’t sing because I’m happy; I’m happy because I sing.” William James It is an odd spring day for this week. The sun is out. It’s been raining for a week, or so it seems. Thus, collectively we’ve been a bit in the dumps. With the sun […]
Look, I’m a diehard New Yorker. I don’t drive. I love pierogies and bagels. I can walk for hours on end. Yet, lately I’ve been holding onto my pepper spray a little tighter and have been glad to wear a mask. Let’s start with the latter. New York […]
Back in the day people- I suppose mainly men-tipped their hats to one another. That hat tip was served as a sign of recognition, respect, or gratitude. Or sometimes it just plainly was a “hello”. Nowadays, I’m not too sure hat tipping occurs. There was an annual live […]
