We had a mini date night last evening. After several considerations, we decided to eat outside at Portillo’s. The weather was perfect for sitting on the patio. As I waited for our order to be ready, I was watching the kitchen staff preparing orders as they came through. They definitely have routines and procedures down… Continue reading Automation Today! Unemployment Tomorrow?

A good night’s sleep can help do wonders. I did wake up feeling better today. Tired, but better. As I went through the day, I came to realize why I was in such a foul mood yesterday (barring some unusual happenings). I like to have a sense of accomplishment at the end of each day.… Continue reading Better Day Today

I almost didn’t write tonight! However, although my mood is sour, I wanted to honor my goal of posting every day for a full year. Being that day 365 will occur in July, it felt I would be letting myself down if I skipped, being so close to reaching the goal. I’m not sure if… Continue reading One of Those Days

The Delta Variant is taking off! It may not be a popular idea among those who believe the last guy in the White House will be reinstated in August, but it is time for hard action in face of a national health threat. As with most things politically charged, it is far past time to… Continue reading It’s Mandatory Time

Our neighborhood has a social committee for which I help facilitate the meetings. We met tonight, so I’ll be back with another post tomorrow. Tired and time for slumber.

Not this time because it would have cost $3,000 for the three of us to fly. To me, this is a form of highway robbery as it didn’t cost… Continue reading No Frills Flying

Today we say goodbye to the Big Apple. It has been a very nice visit. Excellent food, excellent conversation, excellent relaxing, and excellent sights. Plus, mission was accomplished, which was the Big Buy. Here are a few pictures from our sunset cruise last night. This morning I got up for my last walkabout. It was… Continue reading Last Day in NYC

This morning, as per New York routine, I got up to do my early morning walkabout. I like it at that time because there are far fewer people on the streets. The lack of pedestrians and vehicles helps to get pictures almost impossible to get during the day. For this first morning, I decided to… Continue reading The Big Buy

I love New York City. The love started a long time ago when I first saw the skyline on TV. Ever since it has been my little center of the universe. I’ve been to many other beautiful international cities, but the Big Apple remains my first love. When visiting I always do a morning walkabout.… Continue reading Back in the Big Apple
