Personal Journal Entry for April 28 – May 2, 2011

Posted in Headlines, Personal Journal, tagged , , , , , , on 05/02/2011 | 5 Comments »

I can’t find my paper journal (probably because I haven’t written anything in it for the past decade) so I figured I’d do a quick recap of the past few days here on my blog. Feel free to read if you want but I can’t promise anything too entertaining. Thursday, April 28, 2011 Time To [...]

Heat Wave

Posted in Country Living, New York, tagged , , on 07/06/2010 | 6 Comments »

One of my least favorite aspects of life in NYC was the summer. We didn’t need a heat wave to make life uncomfortable – all that concrete and glass could easily turn a typical hot day into a sweaty mess, especially if your day began by waiting 10 minutes on a subway platform. Gross. Even [...]

It’s A Hell Of A Town!

Posted in New York, tagged on 05/06/2010 | 2 Comments »

I’m back in the trees and mountains of upstate NY after a couple of days in The City (that’s New York City in case you were wondering). One of the things I love about NYC is it’s never-ending “soldier on” spirit. If you hadn’t been paying attention to the news of the week, you would [...]

September 11, 2001

So far today has gotten any easier to deal with than it was eight years ago. I’ll never forget watching the towers smoke like giant chimneys and then fall. From our old NYC apartment rooftop we had a view of the buildings from the floor the planes crashed into and up. Watching that first tower [...]

How’s The Weather Down There

Posted in New York, tagged , , , on 01/08/2009 | 7 Comments »

It’s been a year and a few days since Seth and I left the concrete jungle of New York City and became ruralpolitans in the mountains of upstate New York. In that time we have seen a lot of strange and mysterious things, such as competent AND friendly retail workers, a mailman who knows our [...]

Sticky & Sweet Or Just Neat?

Posted in Music, New York, tagged , on 10/07/2008 | 3 Comments »

That’s the question on my mind as head to Madison Square Garden tonight for Madonna’s latest concert extravaganza. I was uderwhelmed by the last tour so I’m really hoping to see something new and sock knocking this time around.

Remembering September 11, 2001

Posted in New York, tagged , on 09/11/2008 | 6 Comments »

Seven years ago today I watched the Twin Towers collapse from the roof of my apartment building on the west side. I’ll never forget listening to the radio (KTU always got me going in the morning) in the shower as I was getting ready and they interrupted my favorite dance tunes to announce the first [...]

Department Store Holiday Windows – Lord & Taylor

Posted in Holidays, New York, tagged on 11/29/2007 | Leave a Comment »

Sure the front windows on Fifth Avenue with the animated miniatures are great, but check out the bench in this side window on 38th street. Back on Fifth, the windows are a little less glamorous but paint a beautiful holiday portrait.

Lighting The Rockefeller Christmas Tree

Posted in Holidays, New York, tagged , , , on 11/28/2007 | 6 Comments »

Tonight is the lighting of the The 84-foot-tall, 60-year-old Norway spruce Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. Although I would never dream of attending the lighting ceremony (too many people for my comfort level), I always make it a point of heading over to Rockefeller Center some time during the season and checking out the tree [...]
