After Thanksgiving and Black Friday, it often signals the start of the holiday sounds on the radio; some years the tunes populate radio and various "elevator juke boxes" before Thanksgiving. With Chanukah starting this eve it makes sense to release the updated Happy Holidays In Song today. Some eight years ago, I started this open source holiday …
I am excited. So is Friday’s blogger. So is my co-NotY (from 2011) and “my” GC. GOtham GREEN® announces the 2021 Gotham Green Awards® this week. Yes, in advance of Thanksgiving, Tuesday, November 23 at 4:00 p.m. we will present an eclectic and diverse group of winners. While we know who, you have to join the Zoom to find out. Gotham Green Awar …
Both shows featured artists at their storytelling and performing bests. Fogerty opened with my fave Creedence song, Up Around The Bend. Messina covered my fave L&M tune, Be Free, mid-set. Fogerty setlist: Up Around the Bend (Creedence Clearwater Revival song) Green River (Creedence Clearwater Revival song) Rock and Roll Girls Born on th …
Halloween and Election Day are old news now (well for most of us) and Thanksgiving Day approaches. With that I often think about the day after when my Pythian Lodge holds a BINGO fundraiser the night after. But, a few years back, an event a few days later captured my attention; and this year I opt to focus attention on it a bit earlier: Giving Tu …
At Gotham Happy Hour I shared something about today’s Gotham blog. Friday’s blogger remarked nice to not discuss my outside office (he used a different term!). Well I did go there but only to retrieve the coffee pot so Shelly’s brew could remain in the thermal pot parked inside the kitchen-based coffeemaker. And I still found some time for yardwor …
Friday I decided the time had come to substantially close down the deck and patio for the upcoming winter. Part of the problem involved the level of plans that reduced expected opportunities to use the space much over the next several weeks. Call it crowded calendar syndrome; not a bad thing; indeed we enjoyed early plans last night (More on that …
Last night was the last of two consecutive birthday celebrations involving the Bearak household. The need to herald the Gotham Green Awards and call for applications via last week’s commentary sort of combine this into one. Last night I tweeted, “Finally seeing the historical play on Broadway developed by the very talented son of my friend @Veg …

GOtham GREEN® , which provides a platform for businesses and professionals who seek to connect and promote sustainable business opportunities, practices and relationships, this year hold its awards program during Thanksgiving week on, Tuesday, November 23 at 4:00 …
Last weekend it was Saturday in the Park; this past week the park theme continues but on Friday: Our son got married Friday afternoon. In Central Park. The Shakespeare Garden. Our son and his bride met at NYU. Our Grad student Jonathan approached undergrad bride to be in Washington Square Park seven years ago. Though outdoors, the location (a …
Gotham held a picnic in Queens, not the usual Long Island location. Last Spring tribal council prevailed on this commentator to arrange it. I targeted the Alley-Springfield portion of my fave Alley Pond Park because it included a good size parking lot, enjoyed a comfort station and plenty of ball fields. It also lies about 1/4 miles north of the hi …
I blog about what muses me.
