Forsythias.



Down by the seaport.



On 34th street down by the East River.



Watched this on Kanopy, erotic with unusual time-shifting. Was it real or just a story?

It must be Spring. Forsythias starting to bloom



Pigeons hang together when it drizzles.



$5 win!



CBS's reboot of The Twilight Zone is garnering a lot of attention. This poster was kind of cool.

The Pear trees are ready for their short splendor.

Championship game tonight. Don't care for either team. I will root for Gonzaga because Bing Crosby went there. The NYT recently had a story on North Carolina's "Fake Classes." Is that real "Fake News?"



Nusquam est qui ubique est. Vitam in peregrinatione exigentibus hoc evenit, ut multa hospitia habeant, nullas amicitias.

Who is everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.



Near Madison Square Garden. 24 is still good, not like before but still good.



Keen's was another time capsule place. Excellent food and service. The Affogato was a special treat.



Tried Chick-fil-A, pretty good.



Herald Square Macy's had a Spring festival.



Forsythias are starting to flower.

Vernal Equinox is here.



As are Forsythias.



Nineteen Crimes wine was not bad,

Times Square is still a mess. Massive crowds, but so much construction. B.B. King's packs you in but when the show starts you don't mind. Nice intimate settings.

Mostly local crowd was dancing and grooving to this Harlem born former Gospel singer. His voice is still smooth.



Good show, tight band. Encore rendition of The Spinners' I'll be Around was fabulous.



Forsythias in full bloom.



Ah, NBA playoffs all day and night. Not quite the NCAAs but good enough.

April 18, 2015

Going to see Freddie Jackson tonight.



Flowering trees and bushes are out.

April 17, 2015

Star Wars: Episode VII -- The Force Awakens new trailer: wow ! Got chills watching it. I remember sitting in a movie theater in 1977 and saying the same thing: wow !



A little late but Forsythias are blooming. Trees will come shortly and I will be in pollen hell. 75°- 80° tomorrow, that should get things shaking.

Forsythias in bloom, a sure sign of Spring.



Madison Square Eats will return to Madison Square Park from May 2 to May 31 this year. One of my favorite pop-ups.
