The street onto which I look out, is a somewhat busy street, as it takes traffic from the Holland Tunnel. Well, a wonderful thing has happened. The bike lanes have been changed and now run next to the curb. That means that parking is 6 feet out from the curb. Then a left turn lane …

It’s All Mine!
Love when this happens. It was Sunday, and 6th Avenue was empty due to a parade that had just occurred. I was crossing and stopped mid way to revel in the emptiness.l
Nearer My…
Attended ‘Maids” staring Cate Blanchett on Sunday afternoon. Ordered tickets based on price. Never have experienced sitting so ‘away’ from the performance. One had to consider a height phobia; it felt more like ‘flying’ and that we should be issued seat belts at that altitude. A bit of planning – had opera glasses with me. …

What A Deal
This City has so many wonderful deals to make it possible to attend the theatre. I had been wanting to see “Just Jim Dale’ at a discount. The only day offered by my go-to discount site was not a day I could go. On Tuesday, I was looking for Wednesday. There is a second site …
