A day at the (drag) races

When I posted this cute picture of a donkey sticking his tongue out, no one asked if I was violating the stay-at-home rule in search of taking cute photos.
Lost in translation...

Take a picture: it’ll last longer!
That’s right—I’ve been to another parade. And yes, I took hundreds of photos. For years, my friends in other parts of the country have marveled over the sheer number of festivals … more

It wasn’t my first “Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon,” but helping others raise money to beat childhood cancer never gets old.
First time for everything

I caught a lot of live shows over the last year, and the Catskills is always brimming with talent performing top-notch plays, musicals and dramas in a variety of venues and locales. For me, one of the standout productions was at the Forestburgh Playhouse, which presented the ‘60s  tribal love-rock musical “HAIR “last summer to sold-out crowds.
My favorite things

This week, Jonathan Charles Fox did virtually nothing.
Much ado about nothing
“And I’ll finally have time to paint the bathroom!” I exclaimed, having gone off the rails on that project months ago. “And I’ll make a campfire everyday,” I prattled on, “and I’ll spray-paint that picture frame, and finish grouting the backsplash, and then…“ more
