Farewell to New York…
Our plane didn't leave til 3:15 in the afternoon, so we had plenty of time to get out of the hotel. Or rather, we would have had plenty of time, but instead there was much scrambling and packing and more packing and we left our room at 11:58, two minutes before our late check out time. Whew. It was nice to relax in the cab for the ride to the airport, and we passed the Waldorf. I'd wanted to go there, but somehow there's never enough time to see all the stuff I'd like. We got to the airport in plenty of time and enjoyed Shake Shack cheeseburgers and shakes. That's my new tradition when...

Happy Spring!
Even though it's suddenly chilly out there that's OK because things are green and soon it'll be warm. The other day when it was a little warmer but not too warm I did yoga out in the fenced yard...
March…
...and we're already into April. How do I never have time to just sit at my laptop, typing in stuff? I must make more time for this. I don't know how. Eventually, maybe, I'll figure it out....
More in February as March wraps up…

Happy Birthday Mom!
Mom is 88 today, and she's doing phenomenally. We have no warm weather trips this year, but we did get up to Chicago in January to see Randy Rainbow, https://www.randyrainbow.com, a very funny...
January Cats
January - well, it's over. We had some bitterly bitter cold and I ended up in the ER for a record-breaking third time. It was because of the high heart rate with Afib again, but then I got to see a...
Bitter cold plus other stuff
First of all - the Sunday before Xmas Mom came down with a "cold." She came to our house the Thurs. evening before Xmas and coughed a whole lot. On the 23rd, Kevin was suddenly sick with her "cold."...
Wrapping up 2023
Here's a lamp I bought at the Union Square Christmas market. The seller claimed it's made in Indonesia, and hopefully that's true and it wasn't made by Chines slave laborer children. Kevin took this...
Ending our trip with a Bang
After racing through the Met I wanted to walk through Central Park for a bit. I knew Mom wouldn't be up for much of it but at least we got to walk for a while. Many festive horse and carriages were...
