“Daisy Duck,” aka Wurtsboro’s Mickey Maher, is retiring to be with her great grandkids after 14 years of helping out at the annual duck races in Jeffersonville, NY. I’m at a loss for words.
At a loss for words
Well, it finally happened. I’ve run out of words. Like most cataclysmic events, it happened suddenly and without warning. At this time last year, I was out and about, being the ubiquitous and … more

Krystal Grow is the new photo curator at the Narrowsburg Union.

I’ll miss roaring fires outside at Camp Fox but anticipate snuggling up indoors by the hearth, Wonder Dog at my feet.
See you in September

Women, women, women!
“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” a female friend from California chided when informed that I had no fewer than four singers, all women, on my calendar of events list last week. … more

To whom it may concern:
Regardless of what you might think, the war against COVID-19 isn’t over and I’m begging you: Please, please… put a mask on. Being in self-quarantine has been difficult, and how you … more

He has taken me down to the lake a lot, where I played with a blind snake and rolled in a dead fish.
Dog day afternoon
Let’s face it: I’m just a dog. Well, maybe not JUST a dog (HE says I’m “special”), but a dog nonetheless. I mean, sure, I went to school when I was a puppy and learned … more

The current landscape is less colorful than usual these days, in my humble opinion.
Feelin’ blue in black and white
I’m having one of those “the more things change, the more they stay the same” moments. Like most of us, I’ve been sequestered at home; working, but alone. Little by little … more

As the sun set and the stars twinkled above, Broadway’s Nicholas Rodriguez closed his show at the Forestburgh Playhouse with the Phantom of the Opera’s “Music of the Night.”
Necessity is the mother of invention
We’ve all heard that expression, and I dare say it often rings true, but perhaps even more so now in these topsy-turvy (you may quote me) times. As businesses both large and small begin to … more

On the road again, again
Why “again, again” you ask? I’ll tell you. I’ve been writing this In My Humble Opinion thing for a while now. About 20 years, in fact, and for 12 of them, it’s been … more

The reflection glinted off of a lakeside cottage and the water below, illuminating the glory of what one single star, our sun, can provide.
It’s written in the stars

Photographers from around the globe travel to Kenoza Lake’s Stone Arch Bridge just for this very reason. Yes, the trees are that green. Scout’s honor!
Take a picture, it’ll last longer
That’s right, it’s a week later and I’m still searching for the “silver lining” alluded to in my last column. To that end, I’ve been hitting the road, taking long, … more

We went down to the lake at sunset and I took some pictures. It was nice.
Look for the silver lining
If this is the “new normal,” I am not a big fan. It’s impossible to avoid the P-word since the world has “gone to hell in a hand-basket,” as dear old mom would say. Not … more

Folks at home watched me for a change, rather than the other way around. At least my hair looked good.
