another this and that

So tonight is the last, the very last episode of Game of Thrones.for 8 seasons, we have watched the trials and tribulations of the 7 kingdoms, and tonight it will all be resolved...we think.  and tomorrow, it will be the only thing people will talk about as they gather around the office water cooler...

Last Sunday (Mother's Day) I sent Becca home in an Uber so that she could watch the show on her phone...she was afraid that someone in her office would spoil it for her....

Today is also the final day of the PGA tournament in Bethpage.  I'm not a golf fan, I'm not excited about the tournament.  But I've had to deal with ...well, golf fans have been directed to the Farmingdale train station, where they catch a shuttle bus to the golf course.  So I get to ride home with tired golf fans...



So that guitarist I mentioned, the one I see in Penn Station?  I said that I was beginning to believe that the only song he knows is "Hallelujah".  Well, the other day I saw him playing in the subway.  and he was playing a different song....and when that song was over, he started to play...you guessed it....

My new favorite lunch spot is called "park bench".  There are many locations throughout the city, but my favorite location is on the promenade along the East River, near pier 15. Great view of the Brooklyn skyline...

We kick off the summer season next weekend.  Drew's annual Memorial Day weekend barbecue will be on Sunday.  I'm hoping for good weather.

And I'm ready for all kinds of summer fun.

    Summer fun sounds good. I am one of a handful of people who has never seen Game of Thrones. Not ever, despite being a fan of George RR martin, and having read a prequel a couple of years ago. Still. I am not a big TV watcher and not really into binge watching (unless I'm sick). And my co workers really don't seem to be into it, at least around me. I guess we are all strange people.

    I've been hearing lots of complaints about that finale. I couldn't get past the second episode of season 1, so I have no skin in this game. I hope it lived up to your expectations.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
