“I never considered a difference of opinion, in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.”

10-5-12 Out Into The Cool Of The Evening
Sunset in my mirror, pedal on the floor
Bound for New York City and I won’t be back no more
Won’t be back no more, boys won’t see me around
Goodbye guitar town
Ghosts out on the highway, voices on the wind
Tellin’ me that we may never pass this way again
Voices on the highway angels beckonin’
Like a long lost friend
Fare thee well I’m bound to roam
This ain’t never been my home
Stranger in my mirror, lines around my eyes
String around my finger but I don’t remember why
Don’t remember why, boys don’t remember how
Goodbye guitar town
Fare thee well I’m bound to roam
This ain’t never been my home
Blue dog on my floorboard, redhead by my side
Cross the mighty Hudson river to the New York City side
Redhead by my side, boys sweetest thing I’ve found
Goodbye guitar town
9-22-12 A Very Special Guest Blog
I was driving back from NJ today when this came on the radio. Even if you HATE NPR, and think that This American Life is a socialist boondoogle wasting US taxpayer money… when you have some time, listen to this. It is one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard.

6-30-12 …1 WTC
Hot night last night. After dinner in downtown we (Roy, Anne, Katherine and I) took a walk to the World Trade Center site. I didn’t have the camera but here is an iPhone pic.
and since one iPhone pictures deserves another. A view of the Hudson from April 16th
4-23-12 Five Hundred And Counting
Okay – 500 posts… 480 days of shooting (the D5000 is holding up quite well) and blogging…
Fireworks! -
Champagne! High Fives!……..
Alright enough celebrating, back to work!
I had to go to the Hudson for this particular post, naturally. As I remarked several weeks ago, it is only fair that we are having March in April since we had April in March. It was a cold, windy, gray, and beautiful day down by the river.

3-14-12 …3.14159265 Pi Day! The Boundless Depths Or How Low Can You Go?
“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.” – Albert Einstein
Not only is it Pi Day, it is Einstein’s birthday. To celebrate, the New Hampshire House of Representative’s (which is controlled by Tea Party Republicans) decided to prove the Professor’s quote above.
Their chosen method? To pass a bill requiring doctors to tell women that abortion causes breast cancer. Now, according to both the American Cancer Society and The World Health Organization, this is a complete load of crap but why start letting facts get in the way now? The “earth is flat and the moon is made of green cheese” bill is expected to pass next week.
Luckily, as these ladies remind us, St Patty’s day is coming up…
Ah well it is a Harry Potter (or is it an M.C. Escher?) world we live in…

1-22-12 No Drama Sunday 2 – Compare And Contrast Version
“Whether or not you find your own way, you’re bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it’s quite rusty.” – Norton Juster: The Phantom Tollbooth
The Blue
The Gray
There was no drama Sunday but Saturday night we gave Gracie her Christmas present. Out for Korean food on W 32nd Street and then to see Young Jean Lee‘s “Untitled Feminist Show”. If you are in NYC before 2/4/12 you should try to see it. There is significant nudity so if that bothers you, ignore the recommendation.
