4th of July 2013

This year, to celebrate the 4th, Hiroko and I went for a lovely visit to Mamaroneck to enjoy time with friends, and a delicious and abundant day of food and drink.

We  trained  back south early enough to see the Macy's fireworks from the roof of our Sunnyside apartment building.

Those fireworks are so grand, that though they take place facing New Jersey from New York's West side, we see them from Queens

Adam Duritz and Counting Crows, Manhattan Center, NY, June 27, 2013

Saw Counting Crows last night. Met Adam Duritz after the show. A couple of crumby pictures from my phone.

Pumpkin Festival at All Saints Episcopal

Twice each year, All Saints Episcopal Church of Sunnyside hosts a street fair, once in the Spring (called the Strawberry Fair), and once in the Autumn (called the Pumpkin Festival).

Church members chip in at various stations, and this year I ended up at the grill with Father Jerome, feeding 5,000 despite starting out with just 5 buns and 2 hot dogs.

A couple of the images below are from the little fife and drum corps of Sunnyside

Hill of Tara

The Hill of Tara (Irish: Cnoc na Teamhrach,^[1] Teamhair or Teamhair na Rí), located near the River Boyne, is an archaeological complex that runs between Navan and Dunshaughlin in County Meath, Leinster, Ireland. It contains a number of ancient monuments, and, according to tradition, was the seat of the High King of Ireland.

The statue is of Saint Patrick
