We recently saw “Plays for the Plague Year” a wonderful and worthwhile musical/play by Suzan-Lori Parks at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater.At the beginning of the lockdown, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Parks set out to write a play a day.

Musha always wants to know where I am going, where I have been, and did I bring him any treats from my travels? This week I had the pleasure of telling him that I had a blast while attending (co-hosting) our newest Gotham group - Lower Manhattan Dinner Group.  What a night that was.  

On a school bus in Michigan, a 13 year old student was engrossed in conversation with his friends when he noticed the bus driver was not feeling well.  

I have often written that I typically spend my Saturday mornings attending my Weight Watcher meetings. There are a lot of changes going on with Weight Watchers currently, starting with the name. For a while the name has been WW, not Weight Watchers.  

Yesterday's plans adjusted a bit.  The rain played no role.  Technology did. Any maybe the change allowed me some time to teach my grandnephew to play a simple strategic game: checkers.  Simply spur of the moment after dinner, I asked the young's if he wanted to play.  He expressed sufficient interest to bring up the game on my iPad.  Worked out nice.

I am updating a recent blog about an amazing woman who yesterday achieved a singular triumph! I first learned of the single sailor, around the World Golden Globe (sail boat) Race when my Key West friend Guy deBoer entered it.   The race started last year on the west coast of France on September 4th and we were there in beautiful Les Sables to see Guy off on his unique adventure.   Not only is the race solo, but it takes place in a 1968 (year of initial race) time warp, ie, no post 1968 technology is allowed. 

I was speaking to my ten year old grandson and we began to fantasize about a Time Machine that would allow us to travel in time and be the same age and be friends - rather than grandparent and grandson. We considered whether we should be his age or mine.
