At the start of the show, bandleader Guy Lombardo would glide in to the front of the stage on an enormous wooden runabout speedboat. We were in awe. I was barely awake by the end of the show but on our way out we’d pass a big tent where Guy and his orchestra would be playing for a large well dressed crowd of drinkers and dancers.
Once a year we’d drive further along the ocean parkway, counting rabbits on the side of the road, to Jones Beach Theater to see a musical, Showboat or Fiddler on the Roof under the stars and next to the bay. My grandparents and my aunt and uncle would be there.
When I was a kid, at least once a week in summer my mom would stuff a bunch of sandwiches in a cooler, stuff a bunch of kids in a station wagon along with a blanket and a ratty umbrella and drive over the bridges to “Robert Moses” which was short for Robert Moses State Park, where we’d spend the whole day playing in the waves and digging in the sand.

Back to the same park, hoping the skunk will come back and hang

Back to school season means I have to pay some ridiculous fees to my grad program and money's tight so a gentle reminder I sell beautiful plotter drawings and they make nice gifts https://wares.lifewinning.com

Thinking back to the week of my birthday, when I left my apartment three separate days to interact with friends. Those were heady times

Been hoping for a good thunderstorm and seems like maybe we got one. Sorry to all critters that don’t love loud weather.
Mr G. L. Fox's original and entirely new pantomime "Humpty Dumpty" opened Monday March 9th, 1868 at the Olympic Theater on Broadway and ran for 483 performances.
I just learned that junk bugs exist, so that's salvaged part of my day at least.

Hey New Yorkers, come see the exhibition Water Stories at https://www.biobatartspace.com/ - it's a beautiful show and a really weird space. They're open every saturday afternoon and I'll be there this coming saturday july 27.
Pictured: my piece with Anne Hollænder, an interactive sound piece with hand blown glass, seaweed, saltwater, and weird wiggly accordion-creatures!
My first impulse was to reach down and pick it up but I panicked. I think I want a pet skunk.
I love you skunk but I’m in the middle of a conversation with the moon.
Sitting in a park in Brooklyn and a skunk just ran right up to my feet. Literally and figuratively did not see that coming
