What’s your jam?

Exercise can take a number of forms. In the ‘burbs, you grew up on a tennis court, or poolside or at a golf course.

Your city-mouse counterpart went for jogs in Central Park or pedaled his bike to work. She may have hit the weights at a nearby gym or taken to a barre class. Lots of choices await those wanting to work out.

Aren’t so very many ways to get/stay fit enough? Chelsea Piers offers golfing for the NYC veteran, as does Five Iron Golf. At the latter, they’ve set up a clubhouse where winners can buy a victory round. There’s probably a similar post-play locale at Chelsea Piers.

There’s basketball (and now pickleball) at your local playground; you can reserve a tennis court for singles or doubles around town, too. As the weather warms, kayakers take to the rivers, aa well.

Walk, jog, run, dance. Get out there and exercise your options today.

Let the light in

Watch House is a coffee shop*, and 21 has shut its doors. The Paley Center for Media was my “museum” destination.

*I had a sandwich, but service is very pretty. The coffees have a rarified luxury feel. Next time, Watch House is on my coffee trail.

The Paley library (4th floor) will provide viewing of rare archives from TV 📺 history. It’s worth checking that out!

For the snow queen

It’s a small gift, but all I’ve got, Snow Queen. You know who you are.

Penguins

In honor of a dear friend, I am asking you to celebrate January 20th, which is Penguin Awareness Day. April 25th,which is World Penguin Day, gives us another chance to toast the varieties of these little wobbling fellows.

The kooky little birds are the Charlie Chaplains (sic) of the cold climes.

Treats! Or Tricks

Maybe it’s just that I associate both “treat” and “trick” with your pup that I have come with a brilliant new meme for Halloween.

“Tricks for Treats!”

Get it?

Playing favorites

Describe a family member.

I had a cousin who was glamorous and witty.

She had a special place in my heart.

I will always think of her and miss her deeply.

A ground breaking

Dan Dunn is an artist whose works are a multi-media mix of performance and painting.

His work involves an audience.

His studio is the venue at which he performs his art.

Painting for him is a process during which he interacts with the attendees.

On this event, he was the featured artist for the WCM ceremonial groundbreaking for their new student residence.

He sets his creation to music and offers comic miming as he paints.

The building, located at York and 74th, is projected for a 2025 opening. His rendition was handed out as a lovely party favor and souvenir of the luncheon.

Brand name drop

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.

“Yankee, go home”

Someone had just informed me a week ago that the Yankee season was going badly.

This apropos my husband not wanting to be a Yankee fan “’cause they never lose.”

The Yankee – Red Sox matchup was on our set for less than a minute when we were greeted by a grand slam. [All numbers are approximate as I wasn’t fully attending.]

The Yankees had a 4-run lead quicker than you could say Jackie Robinson.

Any further information about the Yankees (or my husband’s Mets) will be gleaned from encounters on our street. I don’t expect to be following games or the fate of our home teams.
