I Need to be More Selective about my Reading

And viewing. The other week, just before leaving for choir practice I watched this video of a cop abusing an Uber driver. It’s so awful my heart was still pounding when I got to the church.

And just now I just read this article about orthodox Jewish men demanding that women change their seats on airplanes. Again, my heart is pounding. Why do I watch and read these things??

On to nicer things (unless you are Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer). An Easter bunny in front on the Cynthia Rowley Curious store. Actually, this bunny has a very skeptical expression, doesn’t he (or she)? This bunny is not at all sure about me.

Easter Parade – They’re Still Here!

Every year I check the pictures of the Easter Parade on Gothamist to see if anyone I photographed in the past has been included. Here is a picture of a couple I photographed in 2012. I think they look younger in 2015 than they do in 2012! The picture was taken by Tod Seelie, who is clearly a better photographer than I am.

Research Heaven

If all goes well, this week I’ll be conducting research at the archives at the United Hospital Fund (today) the Municipal Archives (tomorrow and ongoing) and the New York Public Library (Wednesday).

Today is a bit of a long shot though, and I’ve been warned that they don’t have much, but you never know. Maybe I will come across something small, but crucial. I will report back.

Okay, apparently I can’t stop taking pictures of dogs. Look at that cute doggie butt in the upper left hand window.

Bach in the Subways Final Video

But, but, you can’t hear the sopranos! Very unusual. Normally soprano voices carry no matter what. Maybe we were the most off and they edited us out? We were the most off in rehearsal.

New Glitterbox for Finney!

I have to make a special litterbox for my cat Finney because he doesn’t squat when he pees. The litterbox has to have very high sides or else he’s peeing into the room. So I buy a storage box, cut a hole in the front for him to be able to get in easily, and then, so it’s pretty, I decorate it with glitter. Hence, I call it a Glitterbox. That opening really should be rounded, I keep forgetting.

I planned to start a business making these, and decorating them in a variety of ways. For instance, I was going to hire graffiti artists to decorate a line. I got stalled finding a place to manufacture them, however. I should still do it though.

Anyway, these storage boxes aren’t meant to be used as litterboxes and the plastic doesn’t last more than a year or two. So periodically Finney gets a new one.
