Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Highland Falls near West Point with tulips in bloom!
Staying at the Thayer Hotel at West Point is a comfortable and wonderful experience overlooking the Hudson River. One can easily understand its strategic position in the Revolutionary war.
If you are doing business in the New York area of on vacation you couldn’t do much better that spending some time here!
At the Thayer… Everyone feels special!
Yesterday was my 61st. Birthday…. Somebody said that 60 was the new 40… Well, not really.
It’s always interesting to see the famous and the infamous that we share birthdays.
This year I was gifted with a new computer whose primary virtue is art programs… Which I use extensively.
May your birthday be as pleasant!
My daughter Karla drew this very sweet drawing for my birthday tomorrow representing how she views various members of the immediate family.
Karla knows of my love of Chocolate… Nestlé and — of course– Peter’s chocolate!
The making of bread pudding is nearly as old as history.
Bread pudding was a wonderful solution to what to do with a kitchen full of excess breads and cakes! If you take out your copy of the turn of the century “The Epicurean” by Chef Charles Ranhofer and check out recipes for bread pudding, he will suggest grabbing the scraps of cake and such… and that’s all the help he offers!
With all of this talk about gun control, I have to ask this simple question: WHO are we really trying to protect? According to a recent survey of police officers… it seems that if we are really trying to protect people then we should allow law abiding citizens the right to carry.
Speaking of insanity, have you noticed that it is always the places that guns are forbidden that have the most violence. It doesn’t matter if it is a city, a school, a theater or a university ( the latest was a crazy with a knife)… but if someone is looking to hurt others they look for safe, unarmed, soft targets.
So then, who is really being protected when the majority of Americans become disarmed? The answer is quite simple… those with guards and guns.
