No, I am not trying to rush time away. To the contrary, I would like time to slow down just a little.   I read a news article the other day relating to the supply chain issues being faced in so many industries.  The premise of the article was to encourage readers to start their holiday shopping now.  

  As I have admitted in numerous blogs, I enjoy shopping for clothing, handbags and shoes. One item of clothing I never felt it necessary to spend an excessive amount of money on was socks. Generally, I buy my socks in three packs from Costco. I usually buy the most inexpensive socks that they carry in my size. That recently changed.  

Last weekend it was Saturday in the Park; this past week the park theme continues but on Friday:  Our son got married Friday afternoon. In Central Park. The Shakespeare Garden. 

Anyone else find the cool weather a welcome break?   True it's symbol of the coming winter that's predicted to be more snowier (is that a word?) than ever but last night I had dinner with my family outdoors and it felt great not to be sweating while eating :)   To me a sunny cool day is football weather.

Music has had an ubiquitous influence on our lives and culture forever. I put on music when I come home and when I get into the car.  Most shows, movies, and even commercials feature musical backgrounds.   Music stimulates, soothes, energizes, and generally makes us feel better. I got hooked on rock and roll via American Bandstand.  I purchased my first 45 records , the small ones with the big holes, way back in 1958.  

You all know how much I treasure my LIRR commute and how much peace and calm it brings me.
