I am ready – and if I’m lucky, maybe I will have a little time to read a book.
I may be a little late with this blog but I have been thinking about this topic for a while.
On February 12, 2024, one day in advance of a possible major snowstorm, Mayor Adams announced that New York City schools would be virtual the next day. Clearly, he was reacting to the predictions of an oncoming snowstorm.
It's nice to walk into a restaurant and have a rapport with the staff.
La Parma on Roslyn Rd, is such a place. A solid southern Italian restaurant where Jerard, the owners son, works and Rollie is the operations guy.
It's our go-to spot after the Sparks program, where the ambiance, the genuine connections, and the authentic southern Italian cuisine make us feel more than customers—they make us feel like family. In the hustle of life, La Parma is a comforting retreat.
In addition to this blog appearing on the Gotham City Networking platform, it appears in the Key West on line newspaper KonkLife.
As a consequence, there are a few more readers and, unexpectedly, I have engendered three new (Key West reader) friends.
I call them The Three Wise Men. They are Larry, Rick and Lou. Each one smarter, more interesting and self possessed than the other.
No three Stooges they :)
Believe me, it is all I can do to keep up with each of them!
First, Happy Birthday to all of you celebrating your 15th – 19th birthdays, regardless of your actual age.
Vacations are usually scheduled around the school calendar. Presidents week every February is always a big week then again in April for Easter/Passover and Xmas/New Years. This past week my wife and I had gone with my kids to Florida where we always go. Its amazing there, great weather, although this year was a little cooler than normal but lots of sunshine. Amazing restaurants. Great golf, beach. I always say I could move there and never come back to NY. Or maybe become a snow bird and at least spend the winters there.
I grew up with an encyclopedia proudly displayed on the shelves in our den. The World Book – it was olive green with navy blue borders. When a homework assignment needed some information, we turned right to the encyclopedia.
