At the NY Society for ethical culture with George, Madine & Stuart for a concert.

The View

What can I say about the Hudson river view?
It's calming, it's seasonal.



From my perch at Wave Hill
I love it!!

Location:W 253rd St,,United States

Golden Nugget

Atlantic City with aunt Anne and George.



Many people playing
Much eating at the buffet
Nobody smiling.... Really



I took a walk by the marina... Boats were called variations of lucky duck, lucky stiff, and jackpot!
