"HAVE THE PLEASURE OF MEANING WHAT YOU SING"

So, here’s a little happy note. Canasta is a local band I am happy to have found. Why? Well, not only are they a great band, but they also did a great cover of Peter Shilling’s Major Tom, which I wrote about right here, just before the end of the year. Well, look closely! It [...]

"I DON’T MIND"

To get the family of the Jewish Superhero (Z”L), of previous post fame together, an airport needed to be battled today.
Let me back up. I am a big fan of the chevre kadisha, particularly, the part about supporting the family members during loss.
I have a friend who lost his partner quite suddenly and [...]

"THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT"

Yesterday, the world lost a Great Jewish Superhero who fled Cossacks, put himself through college by working in a factory, rasied a family, traveled the world, spoke six languages, threw a party in his home for Golda Meir, helped save and support countless Jewish lives, and, at nearly 95, walked into a retirement community and [...]

"AND HEAVEN KNOWS I’M MISERABLE NOW (JUST KIDDING)"

A couple of days ago, I sat and ate lunch near this window, looking out at the water.

And, today, I’m back in Chicago and this is what our water is looking like.

Huh.

"MIXED UP 20"

Welcome to another edition of “If It Could Only Still Be Socially Acceptable To Make A Mix Tape, This Is What I Would Put On One This Week” Saturday.. er, only on Sunday. Let’s think beaches, warmth, boats and surfing. Good times, my friends.

"GOLDEN LIGHTS"

So, I decided to stay another day. It’s necessary. But, I have a gift for you. I’ll bet you thought I was kidding when I said I actually wore my Dad’s geezer shades, didn’t you? Wrong-o. Behold my early morning coffee on the beach near the ‘rents place.

What? They fit over my Rx glasses. [...]

"AND IF YOU HAVE FIVE SECONDS TO SPARE"

Went to the beach this morning and picked up some funky seashells I have yet to formulate a plan for. Ate lunch at the marina with my folks while I wore the funky geezer sunglasses I had previously teased my dad about, found them delightful and, according to my parents, terribly flattering. Wandered around boutiqueville [...]

"THIS IS THE COASTAL TOWN"

Hey kids. I was a far more competent tugboat crew member today. I discovered that if I stand up and keep my knees unlocked (as opposed to sitting), I rather enjoy choppy seas. All is still quite well. I’m unavoidably, yet wonderfully tanned. Much quality time is happening. I made dinner for my parents again [...]
