Leading

Are you a leader or a follower?

This space ran out of space when I posted one too many pictorials.

So, now come, follow me to Walk with Me, Too.

Keep walking

We are heading to a new blog now. Pictorials have challenged the space limits here. Join me at Walk with me, too*, for more walks around my city and my neighborhood.

*Thanks, Amy!

No plan

What is your career plan?

Even when I had a career, I had no career plan. All based on serendipity.

My plan now, as then, is to wander.

Small changes

Gardening

It’s springtime when even city folk work their gardens or call in their gardeners.

Community

What do you do to be involved in the community?

Community usually has a very local definition.

In fact, we are global critters, so our involvement might be narrow, or it might extend more broadly.

I offer this only as an explanation of what is possible. It is also possible to participate in a community of the like- minded.

Interests in knitting or cards or a book club could pass for community.

My participation in community is pretty limited. When I walk my neighborhood, I post pictorials to highlight some of its splendors. I then invite my readers to “Walk with me.“

Elsewhere, I opine on the states of our world. It might be a concern about the climate or the proliferation of guns. I post political views as well, as I am worried that our democracy is fragmenting.

Elsewhere still, I try to look at the bright side and refer you to “All The Best” and smile. And sometimes, I am the voice of cynicism.

And just about everywhere, I seek out New York City’s best coffee.

In support of my community, I am always walking the coffee trail!
