Bluesky serving up delights! That middle cheerleader seems so familiar...can't quite put my finger on it. ; ) Go Tecumseh Indians!

The weekend thus far is shaping up to have a Strong Yellow theme. Art from the Sakura exhibit at the Romanian Cultural Institute, yellow Magnolia blooms and Grand Central lighting that always captures my fancy. Happy Saturday~

Release the Epstein Files

Saturday sushi lunch date with "King Sorrow" by Joe Hill. I made the bold choice to try an Umami Martini. Oh my goodness, it was one of the best cocktails I've had in awhile! Who knew I enjoyed mushroom Liqueur?

Farmer's Market score today, Knish with sweet potato & corn and Blueberry cheese Danish. Having half of each today and saving half for tomorrow (which is most likely a lie I am telling myself) ; )

Random round up of recent happy things. #Glimmers Delightful friends & loved ones, vivid sunset, spitting celestial fountain spied through a fence and tartufo for two. : )

Saturday morning off to a great start: Library reserve pick up of "King Sorrow" by Joe Hill, Farmer's market tart and a spring time treat of Turkey Eggs. On to the next-

Off to head out for some adventures, including the library and a bookstore ; ) Happy Saturday my Bluesky friends~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnZQ...

Coffee cheers on (Good) Friday Blue Sky. I'm the geek who is always excited to flip the calendar to the new art. : ) April has a messsage. : )

Time for another round up of recent reads. Spider Robinson (2) , Mariana Enriquez and Kate Winkler Dawson. With pairings of chai, cider, sapporo and sunshine as the good lawd intended. ; )

Sometimes theatre is meant to unsettle you and make you uncomfortable-"Giant" with John Lithgow achieved that this weekend.

Caught the Wed. matinee of "Every Brilliant Thing" with Daniel Radcliffe and it really is Brilliant! SO much to love about this production (I don't want to ruin any surprises). Go see it if you can. Also, pistachio martinis seem to be a new trend and I'm not mad about it. (#9,871, lol)

This is who runs this account.

We picked Scottadito last night in Park Slope as a new place to try. Surprised by the fireplace upon entering-so lovely! I could sit by the hearth with good company all night, if they'd let me. #Glimmers

“I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.” ― Dr. Seuss, The Lorax Imagine my delight stumbling upon The Lorax at the pub...in March ...and getting to toast with him. Speaking for the trees is thirsty business ; ) I love you New York, never change.

Good morning Bluesky. Coffee and mint tea on the agenda. My calendar sentiment of "I make my own Luck" is true. Or maybe it's just a matter of always thinking to myself "I'm a lucky girl" in gratitude. Start of a 4 day weekend for me so I'm extra peppy. : )

Generative AI is where creativity goes to die

Every March 4th, Kaiser Cartel are in my thoughts. Hope your Wednesday is "Okay" as found on the their March Forth Album. Lucky to have been to a few of their live shows many moons ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc2O...

Just because I thought it was pretty, with hints of Spring around the corner. Last weekend, tropical cocktail (Amy Island) and lychee martini. So lucky to have a fantastic Thai place nearby.

Each apartment dweller only knows their chosen hue. But I get to delight in the full array from my window when darkness falls~ City Stained Glass 2.28.26 Brooklyn

Happy FRIDAY!!! Getting thru to 6pm EST to greet the weekend. : ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa3q...

Saturday evening, we wisely went out knowing the next day's blizzard would prevent much frivolity. French martinis to celebrate a birthday for one of us and a promotion for another. Magnifique!

Blizzard still doing it's thing in Brooklyn this morning while I have coffee. Hard to see the actual snow accumulation so far from my 8th floor windows... #Coffeesky

Espresso with my Valentine this past weekend at our absolute favorite East Village restaurant Lavagna.~

I missed Prospect Park SO much! Getting around is still treacherous, but it was a balmy 37 this morning.

Braved the Arctic temps on Sunday and we were rewarded with an exhilarating play "The Unknown" with impressive performance by Sean Hayes. Led to lively convo after with our theories.... : )

My timing is off. I need an espresso on this Tuesday morning...but instead I had late night espresso on a Saturday night. Sigh~

After 3 weeks, Friday back out and about! Strawberry martini with our Thai place gussied up for Valentine's Day. #Bloomscrolling Currently watching my curtains blow around like crazy (windows are closed) with the beginning of today's "Extreme cold warning" & "Wind Advisory."

#Coffeesky Unboxing my latest haul of coffee beans (aka nectar of the gods) from @queenbeancoffee.bsky.social Adding to my delight is the wonderful packaging. Do I deserve a present from myself AND coffee beans? Yes. Resounding yes. : )

Battling flu, but here are recent Book club reads, stretching me out of my comfort zone. Both did not believe in paragraph breaks; which my brain was not fond of. Both translated into English; "Satantango"(Hungarian) and "SmalltownNovella" (German). (Gin & Tonic to offset the bleak trudge, pre-flu)

Long weekend has been shaping up nicely. Friday Art Exhibit in Manhattan. Saturday post snow trek in Brooklyn for amazing pasta and cocktails. I hope your weekend is whatever level of cozy makes you glow inside.

Friday Coffee Cheers to #Coffeesky peeps. Pink skies and One World Trade in the distance in Manhattan earlier this week at daybreak. Long weekend so close I can taste it.

So pleased we got to see the delightfully feisty (and 96years old!!) June Squibb in "Marjorie Prime" on Broadway. Dealing w/AI, aging & the intricacies of relationships and the temptation to rewrite our stories (memories).

It's been a helluva week folks. I find solace in books and music. Discovered "Paralysed" from Jamie Bower (yes, Stranger Things) this week and was bowled over. Give it to the 1:00 minute mark to be transported in the higher register, piano and cello... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq_b...

Cool street mural from Holiday trip back to Lincoln, Nebraska. #StreetArt I am always captivated by Public Art.

Shout out to anyone that also had terrible insomnia during the night about to work a full work day and then enjoy very special New Year's Eve celebration plans and already worried about staying awake till Midnight. Or is it just me? ; ) Bueller? Bueller? #NYE #NewYearsEve #bloomscroll

Last weeken in Nebraska, I utilized time waiting for hotel check-in with a holiday Mocha Java while reading "They Bloom at Night" by Trang Thanh Tran. They paired nicely. : ) #coffeesky #booksky

Merry Christmas all. Remember to nurture kindness. If my sphere is indicative, the onslaught of challenges in the daily is wearying so many, but smiles, hugs, supportive words and laughs whenever possible are life savers. Love is important 365 days a year, not just Dec. 25th. And so much ❤️ to B.~

A delightful twist on a Christmas tune from Chris De Burgh. I wish "A Spaceman Came Travelling" was more widely played here~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVak...

Two Broadway musicals in one weekend! Forays for Cocktails to Sardi's, Glass House Tavern, and now it's our cozy time with snow in Brooklyn. December has been so kind thus far~ Both shows were great, but "Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York" was especially engaging.

Christmas cheer filled weekend. "A Christmas Carol" at PAC theatre NYC was marvelous. Stumbled upon a massive tree by Wall St. Spirits in Dicken's tale led to "spirits" of a pretty Cocktail Variety. Fa la la la la and all that jazz. : )

Still thinking about the magical stroll through #LightScape @brooklynbotanic.bsky.social last weekend. It took 4 holiday seasons of living nearby, but we finally made it. Highly recommend to add a dash of wonder and delight to a chilly Winter's evening.

Good morning #Coffeesky Tis the season to spruce up that coffee with leftover whipped cream from Tom Hanksgiving, er, Thanksgiving : )

We had a magical time at LightScape at Brooklyn Botanical Garden this past weekend. First installment of photos here. Highly recommend taking it in with someone who is excellent company. : )

Been slacking on recent Reading Roundup posts. Catching up from Sept to November. Coffee, Prosecco, Sci-fi & more Including my "Look how fast this Manifesting book is working I have an ice cream cone moments after checking it out from the library!" ; )

#Coffeesky fondly reminiscing about last Weekend's coffee with a delicious Stephen King-related book for company. Cozy Prospect Leffert's Garden Coffee house. : )

Cheers to Friday!!! Sharing this pic of my delicious Sidecar from Sardi's from earlier this week. Always such a treat, especially when imbibed with excellent company. Time is flying by, the world is on fire but carving out time for Joy is imperative.

I just never know what tune is going to turn into a weekend earworm. May I present "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" by Tears for Fears circa 1995. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0eb...

Let's go NYC! #Zohran

While I'm throwing it back for Halloween, here's way back in 2010. Boo!
