August 18, 2021 I remember walking by the card shop daily after school, and being drawn to the window display of one particular greeting card that was shiny and bright, colorful, large, as it promised to wish a special mom ‘Happy Mothers Day.’ I coveted it but did not have the money to take itContinue reading “Character 101”

Flatbush Ave to B. Altman’s
August 11, 2021 Living in Brooklyn, New York, during my teenage years (1980s), I experienced my share of teenage invincibility. I also felt that anything I aspired for was attainable, probably because of the upbringing of my parents. I was surrounded by endless skyscrapers and crowds of people everywhere I went, who walked fast andContinue reading “Flatbush Ave to B. Altman’s”

Planning for Success
8/4/2021 “It’s ah good ting Bustey went outside before it rained,” commented my Mom this morning, as the rained began pouring down while we prepared our breakfast. “Actually Mom, I saw that it will rain most of the day, so I took him out before it started, I planned it Ma.” A few minutes later,Continue reading “Planning for Success”
GETTING OLD? Here’s advice from someone young, ME!
7/28/2021 When you get old, never teach anyone anything, unless requested, even if you are sure you are right. Do not try to help unless asked for. Just be ready & available for it if possible.

After Assimilation
7/25/2021 Yesterday, as The Bustey and I took our usual walk through our neighborhood, in the sweltering heat of a mid-afternoon Summer, I observed one of my neighbors hopping across the street barefooted. She was being led by her miniature Yorkie who seemed intent on getting to his friend’s house to play. As I watchedContinue reading “After Assimilation”
My Father’s Favorite Car was a Mercedes
7/18/2021 “Ma, I remember when we use to stand at the bus stations in Brooklyn (New York) in that scorching heat or the freezing cold waiting for a bus, and when it arrived it couldn’t hold any more people, so then we had to wait until another arrived. Sometimes there was standing room only, andContinue reading “My Father’s Favorite Car was a Mercedes”
How do you walk like a lady
7/14/2021 Over the years people have occasionally complemented me on my posture, saying that I walk upright, daintily, and like a lady. Hmmmm!! That sounds like a good thing. Then, I see some women walk with extra twisting of their hips and I personally do not think that is very becoming. So, I have tendedContinue reading “How do you walk like a lady”
“sweat America, sweat…”
I sat in my car, eating the 2nd half of my banana, reflecting on my morning’s walk on the boardwalk. For two days in a row, I’ve joined the ‘unofficial’ group that enjoys working out by running, walking, skateboarding, surfing, bike riding, or taking their dogs for an early morning walk, before the throngs ofContinue reading ““sweat America, sweat…””

It is situated on my third floor and is between a window and my Mom’s bed just that small littleContinue reading “Comfort Corners not just for Kids”
