When the sun used to shine, last year

September 4, 2006 By pia

The Apthorp is one of the few full service pharmacies left. They hook you by accepting insurance, and then you just have to buy make-up, bath stuff, candles. Have the largest collection of over priced candles in New York. Okay I also buy shampoo and conditioner there. It’s the same price as Sephora.

Usually buy make-up at Sephora or department stores, and skin care products. Well that’s a problem. Am currently using the full line of Bliss 24/7 Freeze. Am a skin care junkie. Just for the record.

And the lyrics to the song begin “sad, sad, and lonely. Sitting in a cell all alone…if I had the wings of angel over these prison walls I would fly.” There really are pictures further down

These images are all clickable. Two pictures are taken from the 70th Street Pier which used to be called The Trump Pier but the Donald has had his day

Still have intermittent cable service, but the sun is back. Really really need sunshine
Am sorry if I have been depressing lately. Life is so much easier when the sun does shine. At least for me. I go through my 9/11 depression in advance, so that I can cope when I need to.

Am thinking of beginning a blog I can be depressed, guilty or anxious so that you don’t have to be

These are pictures of places pivotal to my life, except for Caridad. Just liked the picture. And the view from under The West Side Highway, isn’t really essential. But the pharmacy and one of the buildings seen from the 70th Street Pier is very essential.

Haven’t taken my digital photography class yet. Looking forward to it, and Yoga and Pilates. Was going to take a writing class, but frankly find bloggers to be better critics except for the morals issue. Which is their problem not mine.

This week on MyMusicalHighway project Shayna doesn’t interview Shayna, but does interview Emily Loveless who picked a great and unusual song, Not unusual. But a song most people wouldn’t pick

I might as my Dad sang us a lullaby about an armed robber who wanted to escape from jail. Thought that was normal until I was in my 30’s and one day it dawned on me that most people’s Dad’s sang songs like “you are my sunshine.,” not “Sad, sad, sad and lonely.”

    Thanks for the pictures.

    La Caridad! I hear the flan there is to die for.

    I love the third picture especially. That’s what New York looks like in my mind.

    Doug That’s the pharmacy that I spend too much time in. They hook you with accepting insurance, and then watch you spend your money

    Bone–Caridad, nobody uses the La—and yes the flan is good, but on my prohibited food list

    Thanks Jay

    Yes A,actually knew that–wanted Blogger sized photos but can’t happen with a zoom

    Pia, no-one accepts insurance but cut-throats and scoundrels.

    it is a beautiful day here in MI, spent most about 4 hours canoeing a local river–caught a few fish–have to enjoy it when I can. I’m getting ready to a trip in a few weeks back West and am longing to be back on what now seems to be “home turf” where the sun shines (without clouds) 300 days a year.

    I dont recall my dad singing any songs to me when I was a child. If he had, I probably would only recall them if they were eighties tunes:)

    Sweet pics…

    Sometimes the amateur eye is so much better than the professional!

    Pia, ever been to my photoblog?

    I let my Dad think that the beans were vegetarian

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
