Soon! Maybe.
Grubbs on York are being coy about when (maybe even if) they will be opening. This was cute. Originally. After months of seeing the tease, it’s beginning to grate. Open already, I want to shout. Or don’t.
The irony on this corner is that several months ago, the restaurant in question was open. Then it shuttered with this promise of it “coming soon.” I am puzzled.
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?
Tastes change. The activities you once loved may not be of interest today. New things might catch your fancy.
Is this a way in which I have changed my mind? Perhaps.
Sports, especially baseball, once engaged my attention. I barely know the score these days.
Some of us, as we age, lose our once liberal opinions to take a more conservative stance.
Not me. I maintain a close to knee-jerk reaction to events in political and economic news.
The world keeps spinning.
Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
So, yes, back in the day, we just did not have connecting devices. We used to type. On a typewriter!
We didn’t have email, so we took our typed letters to the post office; we put them in an envelope, affixed a stamp, and mailed them. Mail not e-mail. No instant messages or texts either.
Social media? Ha. To be social, we’d have parties with our friends.
Invitations to those were either via mail or we’d call. There was a time when there wasn’t v.m. even on those clunky land lines.
Oh, and you had to stand still while on the phone because (get this!) It wasn’t portable. There was a wire connecting it to the wall.
What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?
What can we accomplish in 24 little hours?
What do we want to accomplish?
Of all the made-up days of celebration, I managed to miss Sep 29, National Coffee Day. Ironic, really. My coffee trail has been long and winding. Perhaps it’s fitting that it doesn’t end at a Dunkin’ or a Peets.
Before the rain, these clouds seemed benign. And quite beautiful.
What brands do you associate with?
There are things, services, and people that are good. Then there are those that are [or do] good for you. They are not necessarily branded, although this one uses an email brand that’s on point.
Since feet are our transportation, you don’t want to experience unnecessary discomfort. Your podiatrist can do you a world of good.
This article is in praise of a particular podiatrist. First, I want to thank her for the good service provided over many years.
Join me in welcoming Dr. Neda Khoobyar, myfootdoctor@gmail.com, to my immediate neighborhood.
She is moving into the medical spaces at 341 East 79th Street Suite 309 as we speak. You may want to save the welcome wagon for next week. Or give her a call or text at +12126793131.
What brands do you associate with?
There will be many of you who will volunteer luxury names like Prada, or Rollex, Apple, Microsoft, Dom Perignon, or San Pelligrino.
Mine is a simpler life. Yes, there is the occasion on which a San Pelligrino might come to my table. I have even been known to use a Microsoft product.
Mostly, I remain unbranded.
What’s your all-time favorite album?
Pictured in all sorts of poses, my husband’s spirit shines in every picture I’ve taken of him.
Here’s one of my favorite albums:
My cellphone has a setting that creates little albums with a tuneful musical accompaniment from photos I took.
Just can’t get enough of this.
