A few weeks back I updated one of my playlists with a Traffic song -- Many A Mile to Freedom -- that played on "my" AppleMusic

As spring approaches, many of you might be looking at your grills wondering what you might be cooking this year.    For me, I'm a year-round griller/smoker but the better weather allows me to smoke longer with more consistency, not always having to tend to the fire. I was asked last night for my recipe for smoking baby back ribs. So here it is (designed for a gas grill). For those who haven't tried smoking ribs, I'm recommending a 3-2-1 method so prepare for a 5-6 hour cook.  

I am enamored by the word Puppy (and puppies too)! It is such a positive, loving, warm word, as in "Puppy Love" and all things sweet and adorable ❤️

One of our favorite restaurants is Ada’s on the River in Alexandria, Virginia. It is named and themed after Ada Lovelace, known for her revolutionary impact on mathematics and computing in the early nineteenth century.

If you are like me (and most of the self employed working world) you both look forward to and somewhat dread vacation time.  Why? Because you work like a crazy person before vacation so you can enjoy your time away, knowing when you return you will just have to "rinse and repeat"! We were away for 2 weeks. i spent the first couple of days acclimating to traveling,  extreme heat, lack of sleep, and yes, worry over how my firm was faring without me. 

And fantastic!   We are great fans of local theatre.  Frankly, we are great fans of theatre anywhere.  Make it a musical, and we are in heaven. I can pretty much guarantee that we are the singing and swaying couple at most musicals.

Recently my family, consisting of eight adults and two very young children took a trip to Costa Rica together. On the way to Costa Rica, we had a two-hour layover in Miami. Unfortunately, the first flight left New York over an hour late, leaving us very little time—less than 45 minutes-- to get our large party through the Miami airport to our second flight.  

Two weeks ago yesterday on my way back from bringing in dinner, I notice fallen tree branches on my sidewalk.  Blocking it.  I moved them against the tree pit and which extends about 12 feet.  The larger of the two fallen branch still block access from the curb/street as it extends about 20 feet.  Shelly took this picture and I submitted it as part of complaint via the City's 311 system on NYC.Gov.
