8 February 2016

Yesterday, Sunday, was a quiet day. We went to University Church, and met with our couples’ therapist, John Houck. Evening meal was at home, some tasty Greek food from our local Greek restaurant, Salonica. It’s at 1440 E. 57th Street, good food, and very affordable, and on some weekend evenings a harpist comes and plays during the dinner hour.

Today it’s the dark of the moon, the new moon. And it’s  the beginning of the lunar new year, the Chinese New Year. Happy New Year! We can celebrate for a whole month! And I expect  that  there will be/has been a special New Year’s celebration and a parade in Chinatown  today.

“What you cannot as you would achieve, you must perforce accomplish as you may. ”    – Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus II, i, 106   (By the way,  a number of people including myself tend to believe that the writings attributed to the actor William Shakespeare were actually written by a woman who was a member of the English nobility.)

  1. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Internet
    explorer. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to
    do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post
    to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed
    soon. Thanks
