“You Suck!” “No! YOU suck!”

Reposted from 2 years ago – because i love baseball. Can’t we all just get along?  Not when it’s time for the New York version of the Civil War.  This weekend is Yankees and Mets, rounds 1, 2, and 3 as those from the Queens, NY, pay a visit to Yankee Stadium to play the…

Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”

Item 74 in a 50-part series of classic movies that I never saw, should have seen, but didn’t because of various reasons that weren’t my fault: Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

Repost : a nut on every street

I love my street. It’s a very active place. Every morning and through most of the day people are running, biking, even roller blading. I didn’t know anyone still did that.
