another this and that

 So yes, we went into the city Sunday to see live music.  Live music in NYC, how wonderful that sounds.

NYC is bouncing back.  if I hadn't seen the "outdoor dining" set ups on the sidewalks and the occasional masked pedestrian, I would never have known I was in post-Covid NY. 

It was Pride weekend and the streets were very crowded.  Becca posted on her Instagram that she and a group of her friends went to some of  the Pride events.  So proud of my daughter, she's got a good group of friends.

And baseball is back, for real this time.  Last Wednesday we saw the Long Island Ducks play a double-header.


It was good to be back in the ballpark.

Jen is going back to the cheerleading world.  Two of her coworkers were talking about a youth league cheerleading team, 8 and 9 year old girls.  One of the coworkers coaches the team, and the other wanted to sign her daughter up for the team. When Jen mentioned that she used to coach high school varsity cheer, they were more than happy to have her volunteer  to be a coach for the youth team. 

Drew's 4th of July barbecue promises to be a fun time.  Good food, good company, and something we didn't have for Memorial Day -- good weather. I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, life is starting to return to normal...

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 ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova 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: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
