If you have arrived in the City by train, you have arrived at Pennsylvania Station. An awful entry for anyone to experience. It feels as if it is always soiled, underground and confusing. There is no outside light source of any kind. It is the Amtrak station. So unlike Grand Central Terminal where the MTA …

Two in One Hour
There I stood, on the sidewalk in Chinatown, stopped to adjust my coat. The sun was shinning and I wasn’t feeling my usual persona of ‘missionary lady’. A man of a few years younger than I, stops about 5 feet in front of me. and gives me a verbal compliment on what i was wearing. …
Again, A One Shot
Can only relate what it means to me, to be the one person in the audition/class of 12 where the casting director says, ‘that was it’. but do again for fun.

I Have Looked Out My Window
“Strangely, for all the breathless press about the boom in food delivery services, there aren’t many articles on the exploitation that comes with them (food writers, bless their hearts, tend to get caught up in the minutiae of bread absorption rates and flavor-mixing quotients when reviewing services; the destruction of human potential often gets lost …
If It Looks Like..
If the leaf looks like a marigold leaf, and the flower bud looks like a marigold flower bud, then most likely it is not parsley. The vendor in Chinatown, called it Japanese, said I could eat it raw; weighed out $.15 cents worth for me. A novel addition to my salad, just toss it in …

As I child I experienced airplane travel: bars in the rear of the plane, red carpet at the bottom of the stairs covering the tarmac, well dressed, gloved and hatted passengers served by tall, slender women in chic uniforms. How times have changed. As i waited for the influx of the passenger hoard on my …
At JFK Airport: All to Myself
It bears repeating, that as I was growing up in the West, believing the Ford doctrine that everyman [woman] should have their own car, thankfully someone else in the East was focused on public transportation. The fastest, most efficient way to arrive at JFK, New York’s largest airport is to take the E train. Perhaps …
Fish Shaped Cones
Ever astute reader A sent me the following article, which coincided nicely with my planned trip to Chinatown. So I visited this little shop and while inside photographed the product. I arrived as it had just opened for the day’s business; it smelled wonderful. There were already 7 people waiting to pay $7 for …
Non Sequitur
One of my favorite bloggers with a life-style presence inserted her ‘favorite bra’ between putting up beans and weeding the garden. This fits that sort of segway. For a very long time have looked for tubeless WC rolls. Have always thought they made lots of sense. but where I shopped no one had them until …
