    4 July 2021 Visiting my younger brother in New York City. He’s tour guide professionally, so he conducted a really cool tour of the city for me! This is me at the remains of the gate at Pier 54, where the survivors of the sinking of the Titanic were disembarked to meet with anxious relatives.…

    Summer 2021 Dilworth Park, that building in the background is the Philadelphia City Hall. These water jets are useless for big’uns like me, but the little kids have a lot of fun with them. Water jets are off to the right of this picture. Just sort of a sitting / reading / talking area. City…

    Went to Ocean City NJ for New Years. I told some people at church about attending “First Night” there. As Boston started doing that back in the 70s, the idea has spread all over the country, but Philadelphia has never followed suit, so very few people here have ever heard of it. It’s also held…

    6Aug2024 Temple University’s Liacouras Center. Took awhile to fill all the seats, but it was eventually filled to capacity. Interestingly, one big difference between the Kamala Harris campaign and the Hillary Clinton campaign is that Clinton talked about herself as a woman, while Harris has refused to do so. During her first mainstream media interview…

    29Jul2024 Arriving at the rally for Vice-President Kamala Harris, featuring Governors Shapiro (PA) and Whitmer  (MI). As of July 1st, the decision of President Joe Biden to step aside and to be replaced as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate by someone or another was pretty much a done deal. By July 23rd, Vice-President Kamala Harris…

    19Jul2024 Bridge over the canal where the box full of plastic toy ducks was dropped from. Mmore crowded as the drop time gets closer. Bridge seems a lot smaller than it did when I was young. It’s a two-lane road that goes across it. They’re dropped! Still bunched together at this point. A look at…

    2 Feb 2024 Our usual line in front of the office of Senator Fetterman (D-PA), protesting his position on Gaza. On his press release, his first paragraph is a good one. But the second paragraph, which speaks of the need to eliminate Hamas, really needs updating to acknowledge that Palestinian residents of Gaza are on…
