Where is this in Manhattan?

See if you can guess where this archeological find of yellow pay phones live. I'll give you a hint...MIDTOWN

A Miracle Aiplane Crash?

Yes it's true! A ommercial airplane went down in the Hudson river today. When I think of what could have happened I shutter. The plane could have easily crashed into a building on the lower east side. It very well may have gone up in flames and pieces when landing on the water. The passengers could have floated in the river and downed of hypothermia like the passengers in the Titanic. People could have panicked pushing and shoving causing chaos and death.

Yet, none of this occurred and no deaths have been reported. As far as accidents go this was a miracle accident. The pilot and crew the heroes in this story maintained control and composure and saved all the lives on all those on the plane. Hat's off to them!
It's no leap of faith for me to admit that something other then ourselves was at work here something called God. What do you think?

NO Movie Night at the Carl Schurz Park

Sadly, there was NO movie night at the Carl Schurz Park (my favorite park in the universe).


We enjoyed an entire August of watching movies like 'Ghostbusters", "It could happen to you? and another really old film I saw with Tony Curtis about a publicity hound in NYC with a sister fetish. The powers of the Park rented a huge screen, put out seats with free fresh hot popcorn and suddenly what was an ordinary basket-ball court was transformed into an old fashioned drive in- minus the cars. It was one of the most romantic nights Peter (husband)and I spent together this summer. But, tonight, because of the rain there was no movie.

Instead, I headed over to Logos Bookstore on York between 83rd street and 84th street. Logos, is one of the last independent bookstores left on the continent. It's woody, and warm full of great books carefully selected with love. And everywhere you look there's a delight for the eye. From unique gift cards, to indi music, imported Japanese incense, Children's books to Torah's- Logos has things that matter. I love here because it's manageable not like those mega stores where I tend to get lost.

At Logos, I can sit, I can read, I can escape and Logos offers a unique surprise. Hidden in the back far from the view from street is a garden full of all kinds of floras and faunas that make me feel like I'm in a jungle. Who needs the Botanical Gardens? Logos, a literary oasis smack down in New York City. What more could I want? On a rainy day it doesn't get better than this after the rainy day sex, of course.
