If you like good music (yeah, yeah), mark Sunday, April 17th on your calendar. No Arthur Conley but still some sweet sounds.
Sidney Rosen passed away last weekend, a day after his 92nd birthday. Many in our Gotham family had met Sidney over the years as he accompanied my mother to Gotham events. Mom and Sidney had twelve wonderful years together -- sharing their love, companionship, friends and families. They both grew and blossomed over those years. There ought to be a special word for the Sidneys (and Esthers) in the lives of very adult children.
It's March, let's get back on the humanity track.
Renee Rabinowitz is a new hero. Time for more changes.
From the NY Times/Uriel Sinai:
There is a prayer said every day during the Shacharis (morning) prayer service that goes like this:
I haven't exercised for almost a year and just started it again last Tuesday with my trainer a 22 year old nice guy. Since I'm not allowed to work as hard as I used to the begining sessions have been using my body weight, which is more than enough.
What I used to think was too easy is now hard work. And to boot the gym has lovely large mirrors where I can see my mishapen body. Not to good for the self esteem but definitely a motivation to get back into some semblance of shape.
It might sound innocent or simplistic, but I really like nice people. I know them when I experience them and, sadly, they are kinda rare to be found.
Genuinely nice people stoke me up and make me feel good and I want to share the feeling and do everything for them and, hopefully, them for me.
It's like old time panning for gold. When one turns up you should relish and treasure him/her!
It's all about basic Humanity.
