Bronx Snow Oct. 29, 2011

It is very unusual for us to have snow so early in the season. These pictures were taken early in the day. Where I live in the Bronx we got about 2 inches accumulation.

While it is very pretty, and peaceful, it caused a lot of problems because the leaves that are still on the trees retain the snow and the branches to become very heavy. They actually closed all of the city parks in order to keep people out of them and safe from falling branches and trees.

PAST TENSE?

Dad (left) and his brother

Today would have been my Dad’s 88^th birthday. He passed away almost three years ago, and I miss him more than ever.

He was a veteran of three wars (WWII, above; Korea and Vietnam).

He was proud of his military career, serving over 30 years.

More importantly, he was a gentle, loving father…

…and a devoted husband for 58 years.

He expressed his love in his actions rather than with words. When he was away from us on “hardship” tours, he wrote every day. When I was in college, before we had e-mail or inexpensive long distance plans, he wrote to me at least twice a week. I looked forward to those letters and still recall what it felt like to see one in the mailbox. A welcome piece of home, and an expression of love, from far away.

It seems so strange to refer to him using the past tense. I wish in English we have a verb form that indicates forever. To me, my Dad IS a good man, he IS a loving man, a soft spoken man, with a good sense of humor. He IS and always will be missed.

I love you, Dad. Happy Birthday.

Unexpected Encounter

I was taking some pictures of the fall leaves and happened to be in the right place at the right time to encounter this squirrel enjoying a treat and showing off his natural talents in the maple tree in front of my house.

This is my friend’s nephew, Jacob Harris, in the lead role in The Ugly Duckling. A very talented boy and a great message about being different.
