Did you grow up Rich?
I did.
I see the throngs headed toward Penn Station
from their Manhattan Dwellings every Friday…
Struggling with bags and juggling train schedules,
Paying Fares on the LIRR or NEW JERSEY TRANSIT,
and on taxis and ferries
Just to get out to some tiny house they own
so that they can enjoy a sliver of sunshine.
When I was a Kid, My Father gave us the Ocean
And the Sky.

Augustus Caesar…Looks to me LIke a Guy who knew how to Enjoy Life

Nor to Panic about what is coming around again
“As soon as it hits Labor Day, I see Christmas!”

But Labor Day is in September.
Christmas is in December.
With a Full Week of this Glorious Gift remaining,
Let us Celebrate the Present Moment of August. (more…)

Baby AJ
A Christening on Long Island.
Baby AJ.
Trains to Oakdale run every two hours.
Only the 9:41am Train at Jamaica Station will get me there in time.
After four hours sleep,
Long Waits…
R to the F…
I get off at Briarwood — change for the E to Jamaica.
Almost there…
Postings everywhere read: “No Jamaica-bound E Train service at this station!”
Take the F Train on the other side all the way back to 71st/Continental
I will have missed Baby AJ’s Christening.
I am devastated.
Upstairs in the token booth, I find a small East Indian man, eating a bowl of rice (more…)
