Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope your day was as enjoyable as mine! I’m still stuffed, though I managed to not give in to the turkey coma earlier. My eyes were really, really heavy for a while! This is the first time I’ve celebrated Thanksgiving with family in years, so it was a nice change. I’m…

The Homeless in New York City
New York City has always had homeless people. Ever since I can remember I’ve seen homeless people in the streets here in New York. They used to be a lot more obvious. You’d see them laid up in doorways or in front of store windows. Since then, the police have become more active in rounding…

Crazy People on NYC Trains
Since I returned to NYC, I haven’t had the distinct pleasure of encountering any crazy people on the trains yet, but I haven’t given up hope. It’s wildly entertaining, as long as they don’t turn violent, and there’s definitely no short supply of weirdos here. In case you weren’t aware just how crazy they can…

Unveiling Christmas Window Displays (Bloomingdales)
I happened to be up by Bloomingdales today and they were literally rolling out the red carpet. They also had red curtains covering the windows. I remembered hearing something on the news about Christmas displays being revealed at another store and they made it come across as a big deal. I’m surprised that in a…

Sometimes It Pays To Dig In The Trash
Just yesterday I saw a copy of Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life’s Greatest Lesson lying on the street in East Harlem. I’d have picked it up if it weren’t wet from the rain. That’s a damn good book. I gave a copy to my wife as a gift one…

The LEGO Store at Rockefeller Center, New York City
Last weekend I looked around in the LEGO store at Rockefeller Center after going to church with my mom. The place is pretty cool so I thought I’d share some pictures so you can see some of what you might find if you go there. Scattered throughout the store are recreations of landmarks, made completely…

Veteran’s Day Free Food and Somewhat Free Food Adventure
Veterans Day is a day for honoring veterans of the armed forces in the US. This morning, there was a parade to honor the federal holiday. Unfortunately, I didn’t know about it or I’d have been there taking photos. I guess I’ll have to make sure to go there next year to check it out.…

Liberty Has Big Breasts
When I walked out of church last Sunday, there was a van parked along the curb almost directly in front of the doors. I’m sure that was done on purpose, meant to catch the attention of people exiting the building. The van had either Nevada or Colorado plates, I can’t remember which for sure, because…
