Yesterday, the City (of New York) was to collect fallen leaves put out for collection in Paper Leaf Bags or open containers from residential. Originally there were two dates for collection but the one for the weekend after Thanksgiving got nixed with little fanfare. So I fulfilled my "obligation" to gather the leaves not yet bagged to put out for …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Some may have noted someone MIA....again... at the Gotham Happy Hour. Sometimes the logistics work not at all. The intention remains. Parental duties intervened. Our son yesterday moved into home number 10 yesterday morning; his parents helped him and his fiance finish their “exit” from downtown Brooklyn across Adams Street from where his uncle wor …
Last year at this time I blogged with great optimism how things looked up for my baseball team. The season that followed failed to meet my expectations, especially on the pitching side. Lost Thor before the season started and Stroman opted out. Pitching depth never overcame such a deep loss; it reverberated on the bullpen as usually happens. No …
A year ago I found myself blogging about how “my” baseball team messed up things, some not its fault, some self-induced with the selection of a new manager. Perhaps fitting under the prior never ready for prime time owners. Things changed this off-season, perhaps not soon enough, but certainly in satisfying ways for most, if not all, fans of my tea …
When March arrives I anticipate and look forward to Spring. I think more about Baseball with opening day at the end of the month of late. Some other things of note occur on the Sports side. March Madness means College Hoops and pools for many. Football Free Agency starts in less than two weeks on March 14 (the draft about six weeks later, April 25- …
Something that you learn more by observation than doing. Spacing out certain hard – aka physical – work. I still enjoy tending to my yard. Do not mind the exercise; though alternative exercise activities such as basketball or swimming I certainly enjoy why “playing.” This weekend – due to the famed midwinter recess closing the gym (in my boyhood el …
I blog about what muses me.
