Everything Everywhere All at Once
Incidentally, have you seen that movie? It's one of my favorites for sure. But that's not what I'm writing about today; many things have happened and many photos, and I was trying to find a "before" photo of Mom's house because she had a new roof put on, new gutters, and had it painted. I was looking through the July photos and realized I hadn't included a few from there. First, here's Mom's house on July 15th, before any work had been started on it. And Ta Da! All done by the end of August. It was certainly done before then, but I can't exactly remember when. The roofers were there on July...

The Fair! Part Two
Way back in August, Monday Aug. 17th to be exact, after leaving Conservation World Bev and I headed over to see the Butter Cow. I'm looking kind of bedraggled here; I think that's just how you get...
The Fair! Part One
Bev and I went to the fair on Monday, August 17th, Senior Day, and had a grand time. We hurried to get there because Bev wanted to see her former tapper group perform; they were scheduled for 9:45....
Farewell to New York…

After the Fall…
After Mom fell and broke her shoulder walking up the stairs at the Frick Museum, and got a diagnosis and a sling at a walk-in Urgent Care, we had lots of stuff to do. We left the Medrite Lenox Hill...
Our Fateful Walk through Central Park
Mom and I left the hotel about an hour after I returned from my run/walk. I wonder why Mom didn't get a phone photo here? Maybe we were in a hurry. We headed to the nearby Stage Star deli for a...
The rest of my walk through Central Park
I'd never seen this statue before. It's inscribed, Dedicated to the Indomitable Spirit of the Sled Dogs that relayed antitoxin 600 miles over rough ice over treacherous waters through Arctic...
Monday morning in New York
When I woke up on Monday morning at around 9:30, on our last full day in New York, I looked out the window to see what was happening down the avenue. There was a guy on the roof across the street....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (yesterday), KEVIN!!!
Kevin's birthday was yesterday, August 4th, and a good time was had by all. We started out with a kayak (first time this year for me) over to Long Bay. Delightful! This is the end of Long Bay. The...
Sunday afternoon in NYC, June 21st, 2026
On Sunday afternoon we hopped on a bus for the short ride down to the library. This picture is funny to me because that's what happens when you don't quite get somebody in the frame. Oops, sorry,...
