So, yeah, I did it. I turned sixty. Wow! Too late to die young, I guess. Boy, were my fifties weird. Let' s see what my sixties look like. I'd had some grandiose ideas about hosting a big cocktail party at some famous New York City establishment to celebrate. But I realized I just didn't …
Month: September 2024
Half a Lifetime
I moved to New York City on my thirtieth birthday. OK, so, actually I did this: on the 24th, the movers picked up my stuff from my apartment in South Philly. I then drove me and my cat up to Manhattan, dumped the cat at my friend Jennifer's apartment, and met the movers at Manhattan …

August Road Trip: Rainbow Mountain
So... two weeks after I got home from England, I set out again on another trip. The impetus was that my older niece was bringing her family from Minnesota to visit her parents in the Catskills, so I would go over/up there to see everyone. But heck, if I'm going to have a car and …
