At a time of the year occupied with what one wants for Christmas, I’ve found myself twice in the past week in a position where it’s lunch time, but I’m lunchless without a clue as to what I want to eat. You know I’ve got some food issues and I’m kind of particular about what … Continue reading Little Pecks knows what you want

WEXT – Jukebox Heroes!
If you’re of a certain age, the following may tweak a memory for you... “Standing in the rain, with his head hung lowCouldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show...” I didn’t say Foreigner, circa 1981, would necessarily elicit a good memory, but I do know some folks who hold their 80s mix … Continue reading WEXT – Jukebox Heroes!
Trying on Rent the Runway

It wasn’t the cheapest half I’ve … Continue reading The miseducation of Megyn Kelly
Soccer and traces of snow at the start of 7.1
The weekend has been the quintessential October weekend in New York’s Hudson Valley, by my definition. There were chores and errands, sports, a couple of movies, and a home cooked meal or two that featured intensely seasonal food like squash and pumpkin. It felt restorative. The sports were a balance between being a spectator and … Continue reading Soccer and traces of snow at the start of 7.1
