Last year going into Father’s Day, I got to attend a mix of concerts and was looking forward to dinner and a show at the City Winery. Today, instead we host our children and our grandniece and grandnephew (their parents have a wedding).
I was in a card store yesterday buying lotto and felt the sadness of not having to buy a Father's Day card. It's been over 12 years since he's passed.
Though standing there amongst the sea of cards, I felt grateful that I had the opportunity to develop a deep relationship with him. Because of his integrity, kindness, patience, and unconditional love I believe being a Dad is the best job anybody can have.
Happy Father's Day to every Dad.
So this week is the Yankees/Mets subway series. Its become a Gotham tradition and its one of the best night of the year! There is a lot of New York baseball tradition. Its sad when it comes to an end or there is an inevitable change. John Sterling has been the voice of the Yankees for 35 years. Years ago on TV and in recent years on AM Radio. He is now in his 80's, last year he stopped doing road games and this year his schedule has been even less as he has run into some heath concerns.
and never give up!

I have always been a fan of a good nap. In fact, I would be a proponent of communal napping spaces that could be rented or even borrowed for short times around the city.
