Some deets I noticed

And want to share….

On 9th and 50 something: actually, it’s @ 824 10th Avenue

A garage on W 52nd with a full Halloween vibe

I fully expected to see costumed adults on Saturday as I had on the 31st itself.

Lazy days

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

You know that feeling when, yes, you want to take a pause, but the stay-at-home feels like a sick day.

You started off needing a rest, but as you rested, you began to feel warm, tired. It’s almost as if that day off made you sick.

As if you did not deserve a quiet day at home, the day became a day of recovery.

Taking a sick day, eh?, well, you better be sick then. You may as well be sick if you’re just gonna be lazing around.

More to-do

What could you do more of?

It’s a long list. A comic, like Jon Stewart, would attribute that to my being Jewish.

We Jews are guilt-builders so there’s always more. In fact, just interpreting the question is guilt inducing….

What could I do more of? Every positive thing I ever did, I need to do more of that.

10 years in support

This evening, which just occurred on Saturday, was wonderful. For me, my friends at the table made it even more gala.

Unbeknownst to any of us, my friends had a past connection.

D. never forgets a face and she recognized C. from a workplace they shared 15 years ago. Talk about 6 degrees– no separation!

Follow PS 109 El Barrio Artspace on Instagram. There is a whole of a lot going on up there. All year round.

Speaks

Having recently had a speakeasy experience, I am alert to hidden bars.

You could easily pass this door without a thought about its late night program.

Having your name over the door technically disqualifies you or rather your joint as a speakeasy!

I include little known places like the Roreich Museum in this picture book look.

All of these are technically not secret enough to be speaks, but they harbor a mystery.

Back alleys, belowstairs steps and small doors are also mysterious. Enough for me.

We need h-i-s-t-o-r-y

We need calm, accurate, factual history to survive this moment. That history, American history, relies on the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, 250 years of democracy.

Most of us, by a margin so large that we should not despair, ⅔ of we, the people support that long ingrained democracy. Yes, there are more Americans who stand on the pro-democracy side.

Our national pro-democracy historian is the calm, sane voice of Heather Cox Richardson.

Heather Cox Richardson is a national treasure: share her words and efforts as widely as you can.

Those are just two samples of the exemplary HCR offering her wisdom. Spread it. Far and wide.

Men of a certain age

The heartthrobs of my generation included Cary Grant in old films from the distant past.

More contemporaneously I count Paul Newman, who was a grown man while I was still a girl. The movies keeps their beauty alive, of course.

Newman shared the screen with Robert Redford, a man just 11 years my senior.

Redford passed away at 89 last week. His filmography would be the curriculum for a degree in cinema. Redford was brilliantly handsome.

Redford was never handsomer than he’d been in The Way We Were. It’s always been one of my favorite pictures; Burt and I saw it any time it was on television.

As he aged, Redford kept his good looks, gorgeously craggy in films like The Horse Whisperer. He had been in front of and behind the camera on that project. One of many movies in his long movie star career.
