Lunchtime walk

Image
 So I am working a suburban office park.  Not much to see in the area, just a bunch of office buildings and parking lots.   But we do have an area where I can walk.  The sidewalk completely surrounds my building.  And the skies above …we’re four miles from Republic Airport, as I’ve said, so we get to see small planes and corporate jets. Things are starting to grow, but you can tell that the landscapers haven’t begun spring cleanup yet, We have a few places to sit and eat lunch, And yes, I saw a few planes.

Music Monday

Mar  30th   the last three days of March are known as “ Borrowing Days “. Share stormy weather inspired song picks. Let’s go for the obvious first  Keeping it in the classic movie vein I love to go to concerts at the Jones Beach Theater.  It’s an outdoor venue. Rain doesn’t matter, the show must go on despite the weather.  Unless there’s thunder and lightning, that’s too dangerous. On one memorable evening we sat in the rain, waiting for the show to begin.  And over the loud speakers we heard every possible rock song about rain. Here are a few they played And we’ll end with one last stormy song …

Early spring weather keeps you guessing.  One day it’s 65°F, the next it drops down to 45°.  I’m starting to pack away my winter clothes, but I’m still keeping a few things around.  We’re not quite at the “perfect date” stage. Can you believe that movie is 26 years old? I’m not sure how ‘perfect’ April 25th will be this year, we’ll be in Florida… Though I’m happy to say the improved weather encouraged my neighbors to finally put away their Christmas decorations.  Well, except for one house … last year those folks left Christmas decorations up until Good Friday.  We will see what happens this week .., And im in my happy place … baseball season is here, and so far the Mets have not disappointed.  Yeah, I know, they’ve played only one game so far … but it was a great game! Spring means Passover is coming.  The family will be at Becca’s for the first Seder, and Drew and I are hosting the second Seder for our friends.  So we’ve done a lot of supermarke...

Saturday 9

  Indian Lake Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Indian Lake (1968) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . 1) In this song, a family gets on a bus and heads off on vacation. Think about the last trip you took. Did you travel by car, bus, train, boat, or plane? Road trip last fall, we drove from Long Island, NY to Williamsburg, VA.  We both love history, so Colonial Williamsburg is an amazing place to explore our country’s history. 2) Once they get to Indian Lake, they swim, have a picnic and go canoeing. Are y...
