Visit NYC A New York City themed montage or collage featuring different famous locations and areas of The Big Apple. Enjoy the following list of resources that I've compiled over my lifetime. If you have a problem with any link, contact me so I can research the problem. Summary: I'm a NYer and as such, I'm always asked for resources for the city I grew up in and worked in. But this page was started after 9-11 when people were afraid to visit NYC and I started teaching classes to help people make their visit the best ever. Take the time now to visit the most exciting city in the world. Hey - it's exciting

It was cold. No, it was freezing. I visited my family for Christmas and decided that I would visit the WTC Memorial. I took a lot of photos both outside the building as I waited 1 1/2 hours to get into the memorial museum. I realize that some of my blog readers may never see the memorial in person. Below are some of the photo's I took and a video of the footprints. WTC stairs WTC stairs

African Violets Two years ago, I purchased, a sick looking African violet for $1. I've always had house plants, although fewer when I had cats, but what a gift to have flowers (deep purple) 1in the house in December. Then last year a neighbor gave me a dying plant and it was so long since it bloomed that she didn't remember what color the flowers were (light purple). With the right soil and food, they are easy to take care for a give you a baby or two each year without extra care. I'm at a point where the plants I repotted today will make some wonderful gifts (once they heal)! Do you like plants, too?

  My wife and I lived in the area that is now called Poulsbo Place.  In an effort to find a new home, seven or so years ago, we resettled on Hamilton CT near 1st Ave. We loved having the run of the place.  There are lots of open spaces with green grass to run across (ergo my nickname, "Road Runner").  We found just enough trees, including some with low-lying branches, which made a great home for our children.  You see, we hide our nest on the ground, not up in trees. Life was more than great. Then it happened.  I lost my mate. I don’t know where she went.  NO more do I frolic around
