Spotted ....

Saw this church sign in historic Lambertville, NJ. Wonderful.

Cold as ice ...

Spotted on a hot dog pushcart's sign: "chilly dogs."

I've been away ...

I've been spending a lot of time on Facebook these days. But, not to worry. If I see or hear something amusing, I'll post (See above).

Things to like in New York in the summer ...

Iced coffee. Ahhhh.

Things to hate in New York in the summer ...

The bad smells. For some reason, the heat and humidity in New York in the summer exacerbate any and all nasty odors.

Times Square serendipity ...

Recently, on the way to work in my office in Times Square, I spotted a man dressed like a lot of men, including myself, in what's come to be called "smart casual" (cotton slacks, button-down shirt, no tie). And, like a lot of folks, he had a laptop bag hanging off his shoulder.

But what distinguished this man was the flute he held to his lips and played as he crossed Broadway and headed east on 42nd Street (The Pied Piper of Times Square?).

In an increasingly time-constrained world, perhaps he was squeezing in some practice.
