A Bronx Tale
It’s hard for me to write a paean to my hometown. I left The Bronx in 1982 after spending my formative years there. It was not a time of glory days for the borough. It was the aftermath of ‘the burning of The Bronx’, which was a phrase coined by television sportscaster Howard Cosell during … Continue reading
In With The New
Aladdin was Disney magic on Broadway. To say we all enjoyed it would be an understatement. I won’t bore you with my theatre geek review, except to say the genie was spectacular & they made a good decision by not trying to copy Robin Williams.

They had researched and found a small ice skating rink in an outlet shopping center not far from home. The on line information stated that … Continue reading
Our Eleven Days of Christmas
Christmas deconstruction at Rancho Russo is like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It requires a staging area. I have spent the better part of today abolishing Christmas from our abode.
