I was one of the people who scoffed when I heard about plans for the gates. Another publicity stunt, I thought. Then I happened to be walking alongside Central Park near 108 St and caught a glimpse of the gates. Like a magnet, I was inexorably drawn to it. It was magical- beautiful and serene. I went back several times - saw it in bright wintry light, in snow, at twilight. It gave my heart peace. It was an amazing gift to NYC. And while I'm counting my blessings, I think of you, Brooklyn Girl. Have a wonderful family day. Reply to this

Despite all the hoopla about Annie Hall, I watch it again and again just to see Christopher Walken. He was then and is now amazing at creating characters who are totally memorable.
As for the driving part, I could easily be Husband. The last time I let Wife drive I had so much wine at dinner that I couldn't remember which way was north out of the City. She woke me when we arrived in the garage 1.5 hours later. It must go with the genetic makeup---very few things frighten me but Wife's driving is definitely one of them.

"The item that grabbed me, so to speak, was about a female jogger in Arizona who was attacked by a fox while on a trail near Prescott. The animal bit her foot while she was running so she reached down and grabbed it by the neck to pull it off, at which point the fox then bit her arm. She wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with its jaws clamped to her arm. I feel compelled to repeat that because I can't remember the last time I ran a mile to my car with or without a fox chewing on my arm."
This made me LAUGH OUT LOUD! Thanks so much for this! Reply to this

Wow! I am so moved by your words. You identified my experience to the T.

Since my return from China in June, I have been so aware of what "freedom" means in this country. The Chinese were so proud of the accomplishments in their country but everyone but one (an officer in the Chinese Army) in one way or another, said, "But you have freedom." Having never been without it, it was an amazing wake-up call to what we too often take for granted. God Bless America. Reply to this

I laughed, I gasped, I totally related! What a great blog. MY husband thought I was the only one who keeps score on all of the misspelled words I come across. I peel off and keep misprinted labels and place them on my fridge for laughs. I gasped as I read about your teacher - unbelievable and tragic. Thank goodness you took this class or everyone else would probably start thinking that they were insane. Too bad so few people are willing to challenge what they know to be wrong. You deserve a gold star on the forehead! Reply to this
