Stuff I spent most of Monday dealing with low back/hip pain issues. 🙂 And I cut down one more skinny dead tree as a potential perch. And I swam my 3/4 mile and exercised. If you need a hotel reservation be sure to give Booking.com a try; at worst, you will save $25 off […] Stuff Sunday was a lazy day filled with mostly crummy NFL games. I cut down one small, skinny dead tree and sawed off a long, sturdy branch from a fallen dead tree to serve as perches once I plant them in the lake a ways out from the shore. Boy, that wood was hard! Folks […] Stuff With the alarm set for 3:30am I was in bed at 8:30 and asleep by nine. I woke feeling well-rested at 3:09am. I showered, had a quick breakfast, and finished packing at 4:44. The cab was outside waiting and off we went. I did not get TSA-Pre and though there was a big crowd […] Stuff Home safely and getting ready for a swim … Wanted to Buy Canon 7D Mark II in at least excellent condition. Please shoot me an e-mail if you would like to sell yours. Click on the logo-link above to check out the latest silly-sick low prices on just about everything that B&H […] Stuff The early Friday morning forecast was less than ideal: clear skies with freshening northwest winds. But it was my last day so I left younger daughter Alissa’s house just after 6am and headed to Heckscher State Park. The puddle in Field 7 was frozen solid and there were no birds anywhere so I headed […] Stuff Thursday was a 100% relaxing day spent with family and football and fine food with younger daughter Alissa hosting. I did get some additional work done on the 5D Mark IV User’s Guide. I hope to get out to do some photography on Friday. I fly home very early on Saturday. If you […] Stuff On Wednesday morning I headed out to Robert Moses in the rain to look for deer but there were no deer. There were lots of gulls in the parking lot rain puddles so I had fun photographing them. There were four adult and one third year Lesser Black-backed Gulls. I photographed two of the […] Stuff Having stayed up late to watch the end of the Monday Night Football game I stayed in on Tuesday morning despite what turned out to be pretty good weather: clear skies with light southwest winds. I relaxed for most of the morning, paid a visit to crack A.R.T. chiropractor Dr. Dan Holland at True […] Stuff I tried for the Hudsonian Godwit on Monday morning and Monday afternoon; the bird was nowhere to be seen. The morning was a total bust with strong northwest winds and clear skies so I headed back to daughter Alissa’s home where I am staying till my flight home early next Saturday morning. I visited […] Stuff Billy Joel was as good as ever at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night. And we sat on the floor so our seats were much better than at last month’s concert. I headed back to younger daughter Alissa’s home on the LIRR on Sunday morning. Jen and Maya arrived on Saturday and Sam is […] Stuff We tried for the godwit early on Saturday morning at Heckscher without success. No sweat, I figured, we can photograph some gulls in the parking lots. No gulls in the parking lots. Let’s try Captree. No gulls in the parking lots. Lets try Robert Moses. No gulls in the parking lots. We finally did […] Stuff Midday on Friday I visited my 62-year old sister Arna in a nursing/rehab home. She is not doing well at all. It is a long story. That afternoon Anita North and I were off to Heckscher State Park where as many as five young Hudsonian Godwits had been hanging out for a month. Last […] Stuff A Bronx Tale was great. Amazing music and a terrific cast, especially the young “C.” As expected, I cried almost from the opening number through the standing ovation. I had seen the movie for the first time a few months back. Anita North and I met my B&H friends Izzy Flamm, Yosef Brown, […] Stuff It is 9:28am on Wednesday November 15 as I put the finishing touches on this blog post. I am on the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) on the way to Penn Station to see the new Broadway musical “A Bronx Tale.” Going to visit my friends at B&H on Thursday to celebrate $5,000,000+ in BAA […] Stuff I woke early on Tuesday, answered some e-mails, and started packing. Then a short swim (48 lengths, a bit more than a half mile), lunch, and off to the airport to catch the 3:15 Southwest nonstop flight to Islip. I head into the city tomorrow to see a new musical, A Bronx Tale. Then […] Stuff Monday was mostly a day of taking it easy, working on blog posts, and thinking about what to pack for my trip to Long Island/NYC. I leave at about lunch time on Tuesday. I did get in my exercises and a 3/4 mile swim. The Streak Today makes one hundred nine days in […] Stuff I finished and published this blog post at 6:50am on Monday morning. Enjoy. You will be learning a lot from the individual images in the composite in the coming days. I did get to swim 3/4 mile in the dark on Sunday evening with the pool lights on. The Streak Today makes one […] Stuff I met Lee Sommie and Noel Heustis early on Saturday for a morning of bird photography. It was not a great morning but we finished up by spending two hours with a very tame and photogenic juvenile Piping Plover. Then a great lunch at the Neptune Grill in Gulfport. No swim. No exercise. Yes […] Stuff If you did not chime in on Thursday’s blog post, please do so now by clicking here; the blog is designed to be interactive. As always, the more folks who participate, the more everyone will learn. And yes, that includes me 🙂 I swam early on Friday — 3/4 of a mile. New […] More Blog Subscription Problems 🙂 It appears that our server was recently spammed by AOL and possibly by several other (AOL-related?) e-mail providers. AOL was the first to do that to BPN more than a decade ago and we eventually solved the problem. But, they are back on our case. If you suddenly stopped receiving […] |
