Blue Moon

It's the end of summer.  Labor Day weekend is here and the crowds are out.  Not to mention this year there is a blue moon, the second full moon of the month.  You think there is a little craziness in the air?  Oh, yeah, you better believe it.  We braved the scene early and feasted at Bostwick's, then down to our favorite spot for a stroll before going home and avoiding the world as much as we can for the next few days.  We stopped and marveled at the sea and evening sky.  Every time we have the same reaction.  We get our pictures and feel the wind in our faces and give each other a hug and kiss.  One of us usually breaks the silence with "This is home", and our smiles grow. You all have a great long weekend making each other nuts, we'll be at home if you need us.

"On Records, the Sound Just Fades Away"

"Did you ever make it in that big city, pal,
Or did you crash down in some rainy alleyway.
I saw six angels wrapping you up in newspaper,
Oh, but that might have been a dream."

-Greg Brown, One Night: Live 1982

happy spring

The best is getting out of work and it still being this light out. Enjoying the evening sun and clouds over Astoria pre-tax appointment. Of course, it didn't hurt that today's workday included a great walk through Central Park to see what was in bloom. Little Galanthus bulbs with their nodding green and white heads. The tiny yellow bursts along the branches of the Cornus mas beginning to expand. Seems like the forsythia will pop soon too. Oh, and a little spoiled city kid going through puberty at an awkwardly young age and trying to make out with his nanny in front of the mating ducks. umm, hmm. yeah...

Welcome to New York, Happy Spring!
