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. He didn't seem to be doing much. Loitering. Down below, traffic had resumed after being blocked all weekend. So many cabs in front of the Hilton over yonder.

In the Merry Merry Month of May
Busy, so busy. I need to take some time to go for some relaxing and calming boat rides, instead of being a total maniac about getting everything on my very long "spring 2023" list accomplished. It's...
Clarity
Two weeks ago Kevin had cataract surgery on his left eye, which was the worst in terms of not being able to see. He'd had a vitrectomy on Dec. 9th, where they sucked all the fluid out of his eye and...
Les Again plus Other April Stuff
First of all - yet another Les Paul Crisis, this on Saturday. Early in the morning Kevin went off to an all day event and when I got up I went upstairs to sit with Pumpkin and then did a bunch of...
Mostly all about Lester
Let me just start by saying that this story has a good ending...however, I started writing it on Monday April 3rd and I feel like I haven't sat down since then. This is ridiculous, of course - I...
First Day of Spring
OK then, first day of spring and I'm having a serious problem trying to get off the couch. I woke up early, planning on getting so much done...and now it's almost noon and not much accomplished so...
One last day in Florida
Friday Feb. 24th, it was nice to wake up with nothing electric car-related to obsess about. Mom wanted to take a boat ride and they had ones leaving from the aquarium near the Publix where we'd...
Driving around in Florida
On Thursday Feb. 23rd, Mom and I drove to Lakeland to visit her cousin Barb. Barb is such a sweet and lovely person, and we were so happy to spend some time with her. First we drove to the Tampa...
Electric car stuff plus the beach in Clearwater
Here's a very quick video of our Air B&B in Clearwater Beach. I took this before we went to dinner, and before I'd strewn my stuff all over the place. I was clearly exhausted when I took the...
The Ringling Museum
Mom and I walked down the very very long walkway to the Ringling mansion which was huge and ornate. Mom sat on a bench to catch her breath while I darted around trying to figure out where the...
