Triscribe

Because this is triscribe and we are New Yorkers: The passing of Mayor Ed Koch. See here for the NY Times obituary. The news was a sad one to hear on 1010 WINS first thing in the morning, and the realization that the quintessential New Yorker – even if you disagreed with him – is [...]

Happy New Year!  It’s 2013! As a follow up of the Reading/Literary Highlights of 2011, here are some analyses of my personal reading of 2012. I have Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials Mystery, a Christmas/birthday gift, actually, to be finished this week, but as I didn’t get to finish it in 2012, it shall have to be [...]

My personal TV Highlights of 2012, which isn’t really a best/worst list (or maybe it should be) and it doesn’t help that I’ve really cut back on tv viewing and don’t have Showtime and HBO (so, no Damian Lewis and Homeland or Boardwalk Empire).  And I’m not on the Breaking Bad bandwagon.  In no particular [...]

Merry Christmas!  It’s that time wherein the folks at NORAD (that Cold War remnant) is on the lookout for Kris Kringle. Santa Claus traveling via wormholes makes a heck of a lot more sense, though… (Science of Santa, via NPR). If you’re reading this, you must have realized by now that the alleged Mayan Apocalypse, [...]

No, I’ve never seen the movie “The Day After Tomorrow” – somehow, the idea of NYC wrecked in a new Ice Age (and this movie probably came out some time after the bad snowstorm of 2003) didn’t appeal to me and I wasn’t in the mood for the emoting of Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal. [...]

Guess this fits the Halloween thing: Hurricane Sandy’s just about here, still early yet, and it’s creepy.  Stay safe! Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for winning the World Series 2012!  (big yay for ex-Mets Marco Scutaro and Angel Pagan). Since I’m catching up my triscribe posts, let’s just say that seeing the new Barclays [...]

Because the summer hit won’t completely go away, and because the conductor of this orchestral/choral version of “Call Me Maybe,” is an APA, of course I’ll share this (saw this on Facebook via a friend). As the linked article by Edwin P. Sallan notes, What should make this version of particular interest to us is [...]

As we did last year. Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh, so mellow. Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow. -”Try to Remember,” from The Fantasticks. (cross-posted over at sswslitinmotion.tumblr.com)

Well, it has been too long.  Dust off triscribe a little and do a little blogging… An Olympic wrap up (oh, come on, why not; it just ended this past Sunday night and surely we’re all still in Olympic withdrawal?). Of course I got all excited for the the quadrennial (yep, I looked it up) [...]

Take a moment to think about those who served and are currently serving. Some APA Heritage Month items, as the month winds down:   Recently, coverage on two APA lawyers: Yul Kwon, on “Tell Me More” with Michele Martin,about being an APA Game Changer, i.e., that he was the first APA to win “Survivor” – [...]
